I always wanted a Mantareckoned the 200sx was the closest modern equivalent
power-crazed Head-Mod
Me too, nearly bought a GTE but it was a dog, bought an Audi GT instead.I always wanted a Manta
i wanted a manta gt/e coupe like my dads, or a silvia s12 like my dad test drove when they first come out, then i ended up with one lol,or mk1 capri as my friend had a beautiful rouge amathyst coloured mk1 3ltr v6 with a black vynal monte carlo roof, back windscreen louvers and wolf race slotted wheel.
Theres loads of cars i wanted when i turned 17 or passed....
Astra Gte (having a mk2 Astra L to work on when i was 14)
Metro vvt-i
Uno turbo
I wanted the White jetta from fast and furious 1
And as gay as it sounds,
There was a show on Bravo, 'Britains worst driver', and they done a series of tests to say who was the worst driver etc, and one of the tests they done, they used a yellow MK2 Golf Gti...and i thought it looked the dogs bollox!!
He's now got a 500 bhp supercharged m3 so a slight upgrade lol
I asked him and turns out the Capri had over 400 horses! Ill try and find a photo of it somewhereAnd mine. I still have dreams of buying another one and making it actually go, stop and turn
I had an 87 GTE Exclusive from new.I always wanted a Manta
After doing 80K+ miles in it I chopped it in for a TVR then a BMW then....
Bought a 4yr old S13 as the closest modern equivalent...then added a new S14a to it as the closest modern equivalent...then they stopped making them
Thinking of getting a BRZ STi next year....as the closest modern equivalent
The Manta was a good car because it followed a winning formula
If they had turbo'd it, I reckon they could still be selling a modern version of the Manta today.
In my dream world as a child I wanted a TVR cerbera speed 12, or the Ferrari F40.
Realistically, for some reason as I was
Growing up about 13, I really wanted an Audi TT. Odd child...
For me it was RS200 and an F40, tbh, still would!
I desperately wanted a 205 T16, I got a 205 GT as my first car and loved the shit out of it, it even had four 6x9's on the parcel shelf

Lol you and petrol Pete have done the exact same thing, manta, s13, + s14I had an 87 GTE Exclusive from new.

The first sports car i bought was an s13 back in 03, i loved it even tho it had extra special air con (rust holes everywhere)
Anyway, a few celicas later i realise FR is the best layout, so, bought a supra, but still wasn't the same as the 13, then last year, got back in an s13
What car did i want as a kid? S13 or mitsi gto, because both looked cool with pop ups, the s13 won out, and i defo wouldn't touch a gto!
Merc C111 at an age when I didn't even know what a W ankle was let alone that it would be considered so dirty it had to be censored.
Otherwise a DB5 or Toyota GT2000 rag top (didn't know there were only 2).
Though a Corvette Sting Ray fastback (quad pop up headlamp, split screen) and the Dodge Charger III Concept (lift up cockpit roof) also featured.
I had a picture of one of these on my wall many moons ago
