For me it is also Bob Johnson's G-Force Cuda - however I have to add the caveat that a lot of these beautiful awesome cars might not drive as nicely as you imagine in your head. I say this based on my own experiences putting all the right parts together and still feeling a little stymied - by which I mean comparing the driving experience to a modern OEM car. I'm not saying all, I'm just saying that once you've been around the internet, your own projects, and learn to read between the lines in the magazines or read followup articles, a lot of "beauty queen" cars have flaws like everything else - leaks, noise, etc. For example the Matt/Anvil Mustang - totally awesome right ? But even the articles mention the interior mounted cantilever shocks are loud and I would imagine, kind of annoying in normal driving (which is the point some of the time ?).
So, I kind of think that the G-force would be so godawful loud I wouldn't be able to think, and probably a bit hot to boot, not to mention the gas pedal area being raised in what looks to me an awkward manner.

And anyone that spends time on the track knows it beats the crap out of the car and gets dirt and debris on everything, so when I see a perfect car I really wonder how much track time it would survive.

My real point is not to disparage anything, but just to say I couldn't really pick out a favorite car without driving them all first !

Going now to find a link somewhere to this "WAR" car. Haven't heard of that one before.
