What do you guys consider the aesthetically classic cars that just don't seem to date & were way ahead of their time? I guess the criteria is the cars have to still look sexy no matter how long ago they came out. Ok I'll get the ball rolling:

1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG

Lamborghini Countach

Lamborghini Gallardo

Ferrari 355

Ferrari Testarossa

Porsche 911 (duh!)

Nissan R34 GTR (no I'm not being biased here!)

McClaren F1

I know I've missed a heap here but I'll leave it up to you guys add to the list!

...or what about a sexier rear end/quarter than the Miura or Montreal? >

i wouldn't really put the r34 as being ahead of it's time since it was just updated 10 year old technology. and can't really say it has aged well as it is only 12 years old. and while i think the r32 gtr can be there for being ahead of it's time, to me it is starting to show it's age and lose its appeal.

also to add to the list, i would have to say the delorean, shleby cobra, ford GT40 and the model T ford

if you allow modifications then throw in a heap of old fords and chevs hotrods from the 20's and 30's. they are probably holding their looks better than what 90% of the current stuff is

Ferrari 308 GTB

Lamborghini Countach

R32 GTR

VK Group A Commodore

300 ZX

Supra RZ

VW Kombi van - Way ahead of its time ( As ugly and hippy as it may be )

Lotus Esprit turbo

Ferrari F40

Ferrari Testarossa

Porsche 911

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
