1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30
I honestly don't know if this is a great sports car or even a great Lamborghini. But I do know it was the best car available in a video game I used to play and one really can't go wrong with basing decision on lessons learned from video games.
Also, the name "Diablo" is possibly one of the coolest words to exist in any language right up there with Zen, Quintessential , Nirvana and Valkyrie.
OK, you guessed it, I have no rational reason for picking this car. It's fast and pretty ... so I like it. And now it's mine.
It was somewhere in the 10-15 range for me. My pops loves the Jags, and I figure with 20 cars to choose from I wouldn't mind having the Jag in the shop 11 months a year.1961 Jaguar E-Type
I did some additional research since most of my original picks are already gone and stumbled upon E-Type. I can understand how I could have messed up and not drafted it by now, but I'm suprised that noone else picked it yet. I double checked!
This probably would have been my first pick if I had to enter this draft. Love that car

You can stop doing "additional research" now please![]()
1982 Delorean DMC-12 - Back to the Future model
What can I say? I just think it would be way cool to have this ride.
From wikipedia:
The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car that was manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981 and 1982 in Northern Ireland. It is most commonly known simply as the DeLorean, as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The DMC-12 featured gull-wing doors with a fiberglass "underbody", to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels were affixed. A DeLorean was featured as a home-made time machine in the Back to the Future trilogy.
I already knew that, I fully expected to lose it to you, not to some guy picking a bunch of late model turdsSince I had it set aside to take considerably earlier than that, I echo the sentiment of that last line.
Back for another muscle car:

1967 Chevrolet Camaro
Short, powerful, with underskirts and an aggressively flared, raised rear end, this was the very first Camaro, and still my favorite. It was designed specifically to compete with the car I selected with my first pick ('67 Mustang). When asked what a Camaro was (its a made up word) in the months before its debut, a Chevy engineer famously responded, "What is a Camaro? A small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs." Each subsequent year it seemed the model would get longer and longer, and then of course they remodeled it into the characteristic 70's era shape. Have always preferred the stocky power of the original.
1961 Jaguar E-Type
I did some additional research since most of my original picks are already gone and stumbled upon E-Type. I can understand how I could have messed up and not drafted it by now, but I'm suprised that noone else picked it yet. I double checked!
Anyway, according to wikipedia:
When released Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever made".

Dammit!
I knew that picture would be coming.
Be glad you did not get the one with puppies.![]()
KITT was on and off my list, but I just couldn't justify picking a Firebird with anything resembling a high draft pick.
Or a still of the video of him drunk on the floor?
Edit - my first car was an 82 Firebird. Not because of this show or anything. Should have gotten the ex-CHP Mustang we were looking at instead, but my dad thought I'd get too many tickets with that one and he was helping with the financing.
Well duh, but I can't look past the skin.It's not just a Firebird - It's a Firebird with an Alpha Circuit, Molecular Bonded Shell, Turbo Boost, Oil Jets, Smoke Screen, Ultramagnesium charges..etc, etc, etc.
And to start ROUND 6:

[SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][/FONT][/SIZE]![]()
The ultimate Porsche-designed Mercedes-Benz, the 'S' or 'W-06' class cars were powered by a supercharged, in-line six cylinder engine with overhead camshaft, two updraft carburetors, and dual ignition. Approximately 372 of these Sport models were produced between 1927 and 1934. Forty-two of them were SSKs (for Super Sport Kurz or Short), short chassis two-seaters which could reach 115 MPH with the Sindelfingen factory body. The first vehicle specifically created to be driven on the road and on the racetrack, it proved to be remarkably successful at such venues as LeMans, Monaco, and the Mille Miglia.
Ok, this car is just super sweet. No other explanations necessary...![]()
The Exelero sports a 23 inch wheels and is about 20 feet long. It was created after the engineers of Maybach were challenged to create a heavy 2000 lbs. vehicle that could reach 200 miles per hour. Some rough numbers: Acceleration 0-62 in 4.4 seconds, horsepower: 700 and a V12 twin-turbo engine.
