Another 40th Anniv. - Lambo

[cegerer]

First Lambo was produced in 1963.

[BlueSkyJaunte]

Without a doubt, the most beautiful cars ever made. Well, up until that Countach thing. Then it went straight down the *****ter.

[cegerer]

Yup. The Muira has got to be the absolute ultimate for me.

[nostatic]

It is also 50 years for Corvette and 40 years for Mustang.

So who would win between the Porsche and Lambo tractors?

[cassisrot]

A tractor pulloff, I can't wait. RFDTV would love it!

[cegerer]

Considering Lambo still makes tractors, it might not be a fair fight!!

[cegerer]

Although I'd put my money on this:

[cassisrot]

This looks like a job for the SCWDP. They could even the playing field if anyone could. A 3.0 transplant? Or maybe R-Gruppe, an RS 2.7 transplant with a ducktail for ROP. A junkyard wars type shootout before taking on the Lambo. Get to work guys, the clock is ticking.

It's funny, the Countach and its descendants are the only ones I like, the earlier ones do nothing for me. I think I was 7 or 8 when I first saw the Countach in person.

perfect testament to illustrate that you usually are more drawn towards what you grew up with. I myself lean more towards the (european) cars of the '70s and mostly '80s with their angular lines and modern shapes. the lambo falls into that category. and dare I say it here, to me the 951 is one of the most beautiful shapes ever. especially from the rear 3/4 view. on that list I'll also add the 911 turbo, (especially the 935) the Dauer 962, the BMW SIXes and the Ferrari 288 GTO. plus a bunch of others I'm too tired to list

My absolute favorite sports car era is the late 60s and early 70s. Sorry Ronin, I was born in 80 and have no interest in cars of the modern era (90+). But I sure love the "hips" on 944s and 911 Turbos.

Regarding Lambo Coun-dousches: a 1979 RX7 has more stylistic appeal than the Lambo. Tacked on wings, air scoops, and rivited-on fender flares just don't appeal to me unless the car is a real race car. The Countach is not and never was a race car.

That's my twisted belief.

Mmmm.... Miura....Mmmmm


-Z-man.

[RickM]

Miura = Wood

[cegerer]

Is this cool, or what?

[nostatic]

I'd rather have a 904...

[cegerer]

Good point. Although, I prefer the 917 road car

[nostatic]

as cool as the 917 is, I still like the lines of the 904. There is just something about that car...I think it is the ultimate siren song of the p-cars for me. Like a 356 from the very, very bad side of town.

but not in a mikez, sawazall kinda way

that's why I said "usually"

[Z-man]

Well, all I can say is,
"Mmmmm..... 904.... Mmmmm"

I too, would rather have a 904. But the Miura's still my second choice!

Why are Ferraris so damned beautiful? They torment me. They even have a prettier version of Porsche's comeliest car:

Actually, I totally agree with your point. I'm probably attention-starved and wanted to raise my hand in the air and say, "I'm different."
