[Here](http://www.madmaxmovies.com/cars/madmax/index.html) is an index of _Mad Max_ vehicles (The one I think you’re thinking of might be one of the Interceptors).  
[/QUOTE]  
Nope, I was thinking of the black Falcon on that page. The Interceptors are nice, but it’s the Falcon that I like.

**Whifton\_Polekitty** , you do know that L.O.T.U.S. stands for, “Lot’s of trouble, usually serious”, right? And while the newest ones are quite nice, I don’t think I’d put 'em in the top 25.

[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.]  
Saw one on the freeway this afternoon. I didn’t get a good look at it, since I was going about twice as fast as he; but I’ve always thought it was a very nice looking car.

I think the original [Ford GT - 40](http://www.me.mtu.edu/~prater/GT40/GT40.html) was even sweeter lookin.  
But my fave for that type of vehicle was the Chaparral 2D. This site shows many contenders [Racing History — The Real Motorsport Behind the Models | IMCA Slot Racing](http://www.imca-slotracing.com/QUIZZ1.htm) including the exquisit 4.7-litre Shelby AC Cobra 289 Roadster.

[QUOTE=Rocketeer]  
Ferrari built the Dino as a tribute to his dead son. But originally Dinos had no Ferrari badges; the Dino was supposed to be a separate line, like Lexus. The Ferrari badges you see on them nowadays were added by the owners.

Yeah, what he said. But much, much too late.
