You know, I think about this question a lot; there are some beautiful timeless designs in the Ford stable and when I sit there thinking about which has the greatest appearance and aura for some reason the Shaker XY is never at the top, except in the rare instances when you see one in the metal - the eyes take over from the mind as you're staring at it coming towards you from the opposite direction. For me there is no car on the planet that makes the heart skip and sends me weak in the knees like it does. Yeah anyway.

XW GT & BA XR8...

I own the latter, hope to add the other one day.

I was fortunate to have a ride in an XY GTHO a few weeks back, sitting down in the seat looking out over the bonnet shaker doing its things wicked noise from the rear i was in heaven.

Damn yes a black T2 is nice, that car with a 5.6L and manual would be pretty much perfection.

XC Cobra is my fav coupe, even if it was gutless compared to the GT's.

Obviously GT40, Shelby Cobra and Daytona Coupe, but for modern muscle this car gets me onto ebay quicker than most.

I'll never forget the day I first saw the cover of this Wheels magazine...

Escort RS Cossie from the 90's.
Always dreamed of having one.
I guess more of a rarity out here making them of a dream.
Plus the old skool RS500s. They were animals.

Cosworth was more a Sierra platform.

The Escort was a Ford that made me say whoa, but not in the sense of this thread! I looked at it against Corolla, Mazda, Nissen when choosing a car for the MIL in the 1980s. The Homebush-built Escort was the best design of the group but the build quality was just truly shocking - blatantly, visibly so. So it had to be a Jap unfortunately and the lasting impression kept me well away from Fords until the Territory (for which the build quality is still an issue but not to the extent of the Escort!).

The Terri makes me want to say whoa but I err on the side of caution!

[Stazza_Brendan]

Turbo b series.. what an awesome move by ford. Creating a modern cult car.

[T3man]

I have been to virtually every Sydney Motor Show since I was able to get there by my own steam - in other words probably about 40 years or so.

There have only ever been two Fords that I have seen and knew immediately that I had to own. The first was the Falcon Cobra. The second was the T3.

[malazn mafia]

[Paxton]

I've had two now. One Red (in 1996), and one Grey, which I still drive.

[jaybo34]

I'd have to say xa gt in i think the colour is red pepper or some such. Any of the coupes. (xm-xc) And I love the fg.

[Polyal]

Dont mean to post another pic but.....



The BA XR was/is an awesome shape, but the FG XR series is brilliant.

[FreddyDUZ747]

Im a Holden man 100% yet I drive a B series turbo....maybe im not one hundy percent but for me its pipped by a 351ci XY 4 speed that when I was 12 or so at AIR would lift the rear wheels ever so slightly as well as the front on the 1-2 change through a toploader.N/A and in 1994 it was running low low 10s street driven.

Another from memory(im only 28)was the red Cortina of Dave Adams from the Motor ShopMassive amounts of gas into a 250ci

Off the showroom floor it would be the looks of the BA GT just like pictured above,toughest of the B and F series so far.

[Geez Louise]

GT-40 made me go WHOA!

Another WHOA moment....not a Ford......the Audi A5. Love it!

[Perko]

For me there were a number of Fords. RS Cosworth started it all. Then seeing the first picture of an EB XR6 smoking it up in a Wheels magazine cover. This was my first real car lust. Then came the first ad I saw of the BA XR8 ute. Instant love. I used to drive past the local dealership, park, and just stare hoping to own one. I finally do have one and it is my pride an joy. Lately there have been two. Eric Bana's coupe in Love The Beast and tonight a picture of a FG2 XR8 that was photoshopped. If Ford do release this then there maybe a very good chance that the BA may have to go...
