I'll start this off. The number one car over the past 50 years is probably the Porsche 956/962. For the following reasons:

- Most successful race car of all time.

- Most victories and podium finishes of any car in history

- Dominated Group C racing in Europe and then went on to dominate IMSA racing here in the US

- Wins:141, Second place finishes:134, Third place finishes:140

- Engine and drivetrain are based upon the Mezger engine, whose design originated with the 1964 911.

- Still holds the record time at the Nürburgring (6:25.91 West Germany Stefan Bellof, Porsche 956, 1983, WEC)

- Great looking piece of autmotive history:
