Maybe I should change my mind....my favorite view is my car BACK IN THE GARAGE! It's home today, hopefully fixed for good. I've been chasing electrical gremlins in the ignition and w/ the clutch for the AC compressor. I managed to sneak it to the shop and get it back while my wife was out of town. She'll never know.

Peter...that has to be one of the cleanest 308GT4 engine bays that I've ever seen -- fabulous job!

After I got my 328, I drove everywhere I could just enjoying the driver's view. Then, while at a stop light, I happened to look to my right and see my reflection in a store window. I just thought the car looked awesome. I've always loved the profile. I felt like that guy in the commercial who drives around the mirrored building, looking at himself.

Although not my favorite, this view is one I'm most familiar with:

File must be too large... and shrinking it distorts the picture. Oh well, picture this.... it's a the side view similar to Ric's below.

Best is from behind the steering wheel looking out over the hood at 100+ mph.

Kneeling on the hood; Bobbing up and down as was suggested on another thread. :-)

I like Front 3/4 at ground level looking up. A professional photographer showed me this angle and I think it looks great for most cars.

The only view that isn't great on my F355 is the view from the rear. The car looks a little frumpy. Every other angle is dreamworthy.

i agree on the rear 3/4 for most fcars, and especially my 512. but another view i love in that car is out the drivers side mirror, over the rear 'haunches' - it looks very le mans like and powerful.

For me its generally the rear 3/4 on most cars I've owned or liked to own, one exception, the earlier 928 Porker (S or S2) is just fine from that fat rear (don't like the S4/GT/GTS I think the spoilers killed the pure lines of the original design)!

I love the front and rear 3/4 angles on the TR specially when seen from a low angle. I guess those strakes really add to the agressive stance. A client once told me that the car look "Ominous" when seen from the back. Great word for a license plate.

I love my 360 from the front. I enjoy those big, untraditional scoops in the front with no fake central grill...

Top view, you can see the width and length of car. But I also like all angles of most exotics.

Today as I watched my car go down the street returning to the shop yet again, it dawned on me that my favorite view of the car is the rear 3/4. Not that I dislike the others, but I just think it looks very purposeful from that angle.

So, other than the view from behind the wheel, whats your favorite viewing angle? Damn I miss my car.
