I've had a total of 16 cars.

This one took the cake by far:

Bright red and the fact it had a beefy cam in it with a catless midpipe. It was a head turner for sure. Lost count on the "LIGHT EM UP" yells at red lights.

Hey Dan; Beautiful pics of your S/O and Lambo. Just how fast was that car. I really don't know anything about them other than I know they were very expensive. Give me a little details.

Thanks Ron! She's an ex, still great friends though. As a matter of fact I just left her an hour ago.

As for the Lambo, it was a 2008 LP640. The motor is a small litre V12 (only 6.5) which revved to a redline of 8300 if I remember correctly. They claim the coupe will go 211 and the roadster like mine was 205, I saw on top gear a few years ago the coupe get to 200 plus before he ran out of runway. I had my car up to 182, the beauty of the car was how fast it was from 80 and up, it just kept pulling and btw it was as are all an E-gear/paddle shift. That car was photographed every where I went with it, frankly it became a real pain always answering questions and getting asked to give a ride, unless of course she was hot!:lol: How's your new ride doing?

2011 Corvette GS Convertible.
Still turns heads.

NotVincent 04-26-2013 02:43 PM

The top 5 cars I had that turned heads:

1) E92 M3 in Sparkling Graphite when the E92 was first released
2) Black C4 Vette when the C4 was first released
3) Porsche Boxster in Macadamia Metallic with tan interior
4) E92 M3 red on red with carbon fiber package
5) 427 Vette red on red

Vettes don't attract much attention in my neck of the woods but, this one has been turning heads and should start to creep up the above list.

Actually it was probably a Trabant that my German friend owned. Heck we blocked enough traffic when we drove it.

Drive a "Muscle" car in Europe and you will know about turning heads. I had the whole town come out to look at my 96 Trans Am. My German friend was loving it when he told me to go get my car.

red9r 04-27-2013 01:09 AM

Too many to name at the moment but the 2004 Mystichrome Cobra definitely turned the most heads. People were always taking pictures of it...https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...69214993_n.jpg

drubnitz 04-27-2013 07:00 PM

My 1998 Acura NSX turned the most heads, second is either the 2008 Jaguar XKR Portfolio or my current 2010 Grand Sport, prior to those was a 1989 Porsche Carrera cab with the whale tail spoiler. The Acura is the car I kept the longest from 2000 till 2012. I really liked that car alot but the Grand Sport is the closest thing I have driven to the NSX and has lots more power

CMCvette 04-27-2013 10:10 PM

2008 Shelby Gt Mustang, blue with silver stripes drew a lot more attention than anything I've ever had, with the possible exception of my 1998 40th Edition Firebird TransAm that was white with blue stripes, blue convertible top, and blue factory wheels! My GS is much more stealthy!

LIE2ME 04-28-2013 07:54 AM

This sure turns some heads...

http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/...psd0d08385.png

No, it's not mine. I just ran across the photo and thought it would turn some heads...:D

RDKING 04-28-2013 11:12 AM

Too many to list. My head turners where: 1970 Blue Z28. 1939 two door Ford Delux and my W31 Black with gold stripes Old Cutlas.

dakotagoon 04-28-2013 11:29 AM

Of the 4 vettes including the ZR1 this one turned the most heads by FAR!!!

As far as naming vehicles I've driven that have turned the most heads it's hard to say. I don't pay attention to see how other people react to what I'm driving. I'm going to guess it's one of these 3.....

1. My modified 2005 C6
2. a modified Viper
3. an M1 Prime Mover (similar to image below)

berk4422 04-28-2013 07:41 PM

This one turned many heads
