Ugliest Sportscar?
After having watched the 24 hours of Daytona, does anyone else believe that the Daytona Prototype are not the best looking?
What is the ugliest sports car? (No Pacers, or Gremlins)

One that is not fun to drive (def), but from the exterior, most after '71
First edit - I agree with your implied critique of the modern enclosed cars - I got off the bus after the GT40, Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512, but the ugliest car I ever wanted to love was the Chaparral 2J, saw it run at Road Atlanta

I could never understand what people saw in the late 70's Aston Martin Vantage. Fugly.

I think the Daytona Prototypes are the ugliest road racers I've ever seen. The 250GTO was the prettiest.

Tom...assolutely agree re the Rolex Series prototypes...not to mention they look like clones. I would only watch Daytona to watch Fellows in the Vette.
That's why ALMS is the better series.
