There's so many good choices but my all-time favorite race car is the Fiat S76.

In any time period of automotive history, it's always been about making the most HP within the rules and getting rid of everything you don't need. The motor is way too heavy, the tires are way too narrow, the suspension is way too stiff.

I love a lot of cars but this one is probably the most passionate model of big engine in a light car.

Op nails it!

I've always loved the lines of the GT40.

I've never really liked the blue and orange Gulf colors but the combo of the three is just iconic.

And the Porsche 917 just a beautiful car too.

If I could have one race car for my commute I’d want some JGTC thing from 20 years ago

Gulf GT40 wins this one for sure.

I always liked the Bob Sharp cars though.

I liked the old Top Fuel and Funny Cars when they had names and weren't just billboards for corporate sponsors.

The "Jade Grenade" was one of my favorites.

The 911 RSR tribute they did at Le Mans a couple years back was cool too.

Some great ones posted -

Mazda 787b Lemans Livery
Al Holbert’s 962

Also was fond of the Silk Cut Jaguar Group C cars.

Penske Porsche RS Spyder in DHL yellow.

Champion Audi R8 at dusk had a great glow to it.

Dan Wheldon’s William Rast Livery Indy winning car was a great livery.

One that's near and dear to my heart. The Juncos Racing entry for Kyle Kaiser at last years Indy 500. A couple of my buddies and I put together a sponsorship for him after he crashed his primary car in practice. We each kicked in $100 and all of us got to sign the car. Needless to say we were all pretty pumped when he bumped Fernando Alonso from the field!

I liked the original John Player Specials (black with gold pin striping and lettering), like their Cigarette packs.

ETA: Beat like a cur dog by Rhinelandarms.
