Intro
Antron Brown is a black drag racer in a predominately white sport. He comes from a family of race car drivers. His father and uncle were sportsman drag racers, which inevitably led to Brown's involvement with motorcross and dirt bike racing. That led him to his real passion: racing Top Fuel dragsters. "When I was a kid, I always wished and dreamed I could race Top Fuel," he says. Brown is also a pro stock motorcycle racer, and he recently gave us a list of his favorite cars and motorcycles.
Jaguar
10. Jaguar XF R
Antron Says: "I like the new Jaguar XF R. The designer of Aston Martin designs them now. The coupe is hot, too, but I'm always thinking four door, because I know I'm not going to be able to get away with that because of my kids. They're nice cars, and they are reasonable priced, too, at just below $100,000."
Audi
9. Audi R8 V-10
Antron Says: "The Audi R8 is pretty hot, and if you gotta have it, you gotta have the V-10. If you're going to spend that much for a car, you might as well step up and spend the 20 grand or whatever it is to get the V-10."
Harley Davidson
8. Harley Davidson V Rod
Antron Says: "I also like the new Harley Davidson V Rod. They are pretty stylin' now. It has an overhead cam motor in it. It's pretty slick and sporty, yet you can still cruise it."
Harley Davidson
7. Harley Davidson Nightster
Antron Says: "Cruising-wise, I'd definitely have to go with a Harley. The Nightster is a new bike that has an older style with a soft tail. And it has a 1200cc V twin."
Suzuki
6. Suzuki GSXR 1000
Antron Says: "I like going fast, so my first choice for a sport bike would be a Suzuki GSXR 1000. It's a small bike, and it's very fast. They've always been on the top of their game. It's my favorite bike, and that's the one I own."
Chevrolet
5. 1968 Chevrolet Camaro
Antron Says: "Well, the '69 was always the favorite, but on the '68 I kinda liked the headlights and taillights. It was right before they started getting the heavier style, where it had the funky curvature to it, and I like the '68 better for personal reasons."
Dodge
4. 1968 Dodge Hemi Cuda
Antron Says: "I'd have to say a '68 Cuda. Man, that was always one of my favorite cars. My dad let his go to rust, but that was his high school car."
Chevrolet
3. 1967 Chevrolet Nova
Antron Says: "I would have to say my next favorite car would be a '67 Nova. It is a great muscle car--low and sleek. And tub it with some big slicks, and it makes a great street rod."
Chevrolet
2. Chevrolet Corvette
Antron Says: "When I was growing up, my all-time favorite car was the Corvette. It was definitely one of my standouts, and it's still one of my favorites to this day because it goes way back for me."
Lexus
1. Lexus LFA
Antron Says: "My favorite car right now, production-wise, is a high-performance car. It's hot, because I dig Formula One stuff. It's the Lexus LFA. It's an expensive car, but it's different. It's not like your typical Ferrari or Lamborghini. It's got a more coupe style to it, and that's what I like."
