I really like the Lotus Fords of that era with the cigar shape and the exhaust pipes out back.

I could be a dweeb and say that this is my favorite car. . . . . .
. . . . . but the fact is. . . . .
. . . . I've been a fan of these since I was a teenager. . . .

Yeah Tom, that is the Legend of Wild Willie! I remember we would always look for his arm hanging off the door.
Not sure how many years he actually did it, but eventually the truth came out. The fake arm was sold on ebay a few months back. Only brought about 2K IIRC.
The car has been immortalized in Plastic too...

Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Now those are some perfect looking drag cars !
On a slightly different note but powered with either big or small block chevy's a BriSCA F1 Stock Car
Nothing like one of these monsters power sliding round the corner on the shale with the dirt flying & that Chevy roaring under the hood
Plus some awesome original drag racing VW Beetles from the 60's
Whilst searching dragster pictures for inspiration for the drag racing proxy this random shot just says "Happiness" and "perfect"
