Had to put a subzero on this one! The Stratos was my dad's dream when he was a child, probably still is, and well, some things are in your blood and even if I'd take a Miura instead, I still think it is a car that will turn heads in 2000 years! So small, compact, simple lines.. craking car!

easily SZ...1 of those truly alltime greats, in a category above alltime great even...there are really very VERY few cars that have this car's coolness and specialness and...well basically the whole package where the emotional part is concerned...

Amazing 70's classic, it's right up there with the Bora and the Miura SV.

Sub zero to me as well.

Iconic shape - there aren't many cars that are nearly as wide as they are long. What's not to like - Ferrari Dino engine, Sandro Munari drove won, rally winning history, rarity.

It was so incredibly 'far out' when it came out, and it still is! Rally legend, and it's a Lancia. Subzero
