I only liked 4 cars on that list…

3

and historically you have shitty taste so… yeah, I didn’t like about 4 or so of them. :bigok:

4

ford escort cosworth sick

5

Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4SV
Aston Martin V12 Vantage
McLaren F1
Ferrari F50
Honda NSX-R
Vauxhall Monaro
Bugatti Veyron
Corvette ZR 1
Porsche 911 GT3 RS

There’s 9 of them that ANYONE would take in a heartbeat… how did you only get 4?

6

exactly…

7

veyron
Mclaren
GT3

8

Aside from the Veyron, it’s a pretty good list. Focusing on innovation instead of fanbase for a car is pretty big of a mag that size to do. Nice.

9

Are you saying there is no innovation in the Veyron?

10

I was going to say the same thing?

11

^^^ Me too. the Veyron is amazing. Watch the Veyron vs. the F1 video parts 1 and 2. Incredible cars both, but I love the fact that both can do more than go in a straight line fast.
I love how they kind of take jabs at American cars… like with the vette… implying that it’s the first vette that can actually take a corner.
Being an Audi guy, I love the RS2. A beast of a grocery getter.
Didn’t see any BMW representation other than their engine in someone else’s car.
I have renewed love for the Lotus and may look in to one of those for the next toy.

12

Let’s be realistic. American cars don’t need to be made for Corners . We have Interstates and Highways.

13

No I didn’t mean the Veyron has no innovation (it’s fucking brimming with it actually), I just really think the execution in that car could’ve been more appealing. It’s a hideous car IMO, that statment was based purely on aesthetics.

14

Got it; agreed. To me it’s kind of so ugly that it’s bad ass. But not for that kind of money. If I could pay that, it had better be better aesthetically.

The need to in my world. I hate going in a straight line. I need g’s.

15

I like G’s too, both the kind that are far left of the decimal, and the holding on kind!

16

Understood. I would think a huge percentage of people out there would say it is not the sweetest looking exotic. The grille resembles an old Edsel.

I’m surprised my favorite exotic isn’t on their list. I know they like it alot, too. Koenigsegg CCX-R. Far better looking than the Veyron, but only about 9/10s of the performance. It is still a serious piece of machinery and a much more realistic price.

17

Good point. I love the CCR, it certainly deserved a spot on that list. Shame they backed out of the Saab talks, might have been interesting for them.

18

Yes it would.

19

Other than the Panda and the S-Max, I’d take any car on that list.
