Default What was your favorite car, ever?

Back in the day I had a blue with white top 1967 Camaro RS/SS convertible. It had the rare 375 HP 396 L78 rat motor, four bolt mains, solid lifters, a huge double pumper three barrel Holley, 4 speed Hurst shifter and a 4:10 rear end, all factory equipment. It only got six mpg around the DC area and I had to use Hess 100+ octane gas because it had a 11:1 compression ratio. It had no A/C or power steering. It was made to go. That same model (not my own car) was chosen as the pace car in the Indianapolis 500 that year. Wish I had kept it.... I miss driving it to this day.
