I think... I like it? But why?

My mind is going, Dave, I can feel it.

What car is this? I want to say that it's an older Celica, but I'm not too sure.

Beautifully built car and that engine is spectacular, but that hood loses me.

I've always like Hennessey's Viper Venoms with their ridiculous rear wings and Jay Leno chin spoilers.

Look closely at the front fender and you can see its a 1970 Mustang

Yellowbird. Simply put, RUF made a god out of a monster and yet, you'd never know it when it was parked. Looking simply like a tightened down turbo, the yellowbird is understated enough that no one would think of it as a "tuner". To me, that is a hallmark of the "best" tuner car looks. When it looks like it could leave the factory that way, you did good.

RUF makes the ultimate tuner cars imo. Restrained styling with absolute bonkers performance numbers. Gemballa's a close second but the Yellowbird will always be an automotive icon.

Ah. I saw the title and thought of a JDM car.

My all time favourite would be the Gemballa Avalanche from 1984. It's the wickedest looking 80's tuner car.

Hah, my friend had a Del Sol with seats from an EG SI. I wonder if they traded.

Yeah, yeah. I know this isn't technically a "tuner car", but neither is the '69 Mustang pictured. They are both one-off show cars and the Efijy is simply the must beautiful show car ever built.

It's like the Porsche version of the Countach 25th.

Do you mean the Ferrari 512 TR? All variations of Countach don't have big side intakes.

I meant more the extremely 80's-tastic modifications to an otherwise "normal" sports car. Few remember the Countach originally looked like this:

Did I just become a ricer by liking that roof scoop?
