For me it has to be a Chevy Corvette. 1960s-late 1970s.

MkI, MkII, & MkIII GT40s were built in the UK, only the MkIVs were built in the US by a coachbuilders called KarKraft.

Don't have a pic of one but the Dodge Charger '71 Super Bee 426 Hemi, that's the ultimate Charger, only 22 were made with this engine, very nice.
Like the Corvette Stingray too, nice curves!!

My favourites:
My favourite modern US car has to be the Corvette. I've been driven in this one and it would make short work of almost any Scooby or Evo on the straights and the twisties. Fecking awesome. It looks a lot better in the flesh as well.
The guy in the drivers seat normally drives a diesel hatchback and is rather impressed...
She doesn't look convinced.
As for classic US cars, I'm torn between the brutishness of this 1970 Firebird and the beauty of this 1979 Corvette.
Excuse the crappy pic, it was in winter storage and couldn't be moved out of the garage.
Excuse the crappy pic, I'm a crap photographer...

I agree with you Jap if i had a Gt500 Kr i couldn't ruin the original beauty of the car with NOS, silly wheels and a terrible paint job ( obviously i love the car it is based on though ).

That 'Elanor' GT500 people keep posting is absolutely hideious, GT500's DO NOT look like that halfords body kit piece of crap.
THIS is what it should look like
and the GT350's look better anyway, especially the 67
