Hands down, best looking sports car ever, IMHO:
And the one behind it is probably my second favorite. |

Porsche 904
The 904 was the last of the Porsche race cars that was also street legal.
A very close second would be the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.

The few, the proud, The Comp 427
I also think the 250 LM is a close 2nd!

must say I'm a little biased.. but a 500 rwhp daily driver that averages 23 combined MPG has to rank up there..

Cobras aside, my vote goes for the Datona Ferrari or Ferrari GTB 275. I also love the Dino 246! Beautiful cars!

As far as classics go, it goes something like this:
1) Maserati Mistral (in silver)
2) Lambo Miura
3) Maserati Ghibli (black w/white int.)
That's just for today, I'm sure the list would change tomorrow 
Modern cars is a no brainer for me: Porsche GT3 (white of course) |

Dino 246.
To me they most closely resembled the race cars of the time.

I know I am biased, as I am now on my 5th one, but I STILL have to throw this one up for a vote as I think the 911 is one of the best looking sports cars ever produced...timeless. Next time you are stuck behind a wide body Turbo Porsche 911 (do NOT try to overtake...lol), or a 911 S, just admire the ageless elegance of the lines, the MUSCLE in that wide stance and giant tires, the almost sensual lines of the rear end, the first sports car with a spoiler...etc.
Perhaps the fact that the body shape has EVOLVED over the last 30 years, rather than changing with the whims of fashion, is part of its magic...EVERYONE knows its a Porsche, and it is probably the MOST recognizable sports car 'shape' on the road today (after the Cobra, of course).
Ignore the 928 (a GREAT GT car), forget the 914, the 944, the 968, the Boxster, the Cayman, and GOD FORBID the Cayenne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (merely a fast truck!!!), forget even the 911 cabriolet and forgive Porsche for their sins in creating anything other than the 911, but the 911 COUPE is one of the GREAT CLASSICS!
