McLaren F1 LM · Nov 23, 2003, 3:50 PM

i love spyker but in this one i'd have to chose the pagani zonda. just faster :wink:

DarkVenom666 · Nov 23, 2003, 3:51 PM

LOL, what did i tell you!?! Don't only pick one by it's performance :wink: :P ! But still, the Pagani isn't a bad choice :wink: .

jimkk29 · Nov 23, 2003, 5:37 PM

1. The Enzo has 660 HP.
2. Bugatti is an Italian company.
3. NONE of these cars is practical, so based on the other 2 factors I'd choose the Mercedes CLK-GTR.

mallon · Nov 23, 2003, 5:55 PM

oh nice selection, even if a few a a little out of place, the Bugatti and Donkervoort maybe.

But still nice selection. I love the farbound but im not sure itll ever go into production...

so id have the koenigsegg or the pagini.

Schumi · Nov 23, 2003, 6:05 PM

I will go with the Ferrari Enzo for its perfomance and its beauty...
If not this I will go with the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR.
Great car IMO, very well aerodynamics and great perfomance...
Oh, and I really doubt about the top speed of the Pagani.Are you sure 220mph???
That's close to 400Km/h...
Pagani dont have this top speed for sure.The top speed of Pagani is close to 350km/h far enough...

teammobot · Nov 23, 2003, 6:58 PM

That's an awesome list of cars!

I couldn't choose though. Maybe we should also include prices?

I agree although I don't really like any of them per say...

BluCamSS · Nov 23, 2003, 10:26 PM

I choose the Enzo Ferrari based on how it excells in EVERY category.

But some of your information in wrong:
It has 660 horsepower, not 650.
It weighs just over 3000 pounds, not 3200.
0-60 mph is 3.1 sec (According to Motor Trend AND Auto Week) so 3.3 has been bested twice.

Ghalos · Nov 24, 2003, 9:31 AM

Hmmm...For one, that Mosler isn't the Photon, it's the "S" version, but hey, it doesn't matter, they look identical from the outside, the Mosler Photon, also it hits 60 in 3.1 seconds...Anyways, anything from the U.S., and the only reason is because just about every single car on that list is perfect, and as such, national pride won me over... 8)

The reason the S ain't on there I'm gonna guess is because it is a stripper race car. It has NOTHING, no sound deading, no A/C, no power steering, no ABS, nothing. The regular Mosler is the one to compare to the others, not the S race car version. Plus the S is set up for 0-1/4 mile runs, top speed is only like 150 or so.

Raith83 · Nov 24, 2003, 1:23 PM

I was getting worried until I got to the last car

!!! This car is very attractive to anyone with a pulse, it has a very powerful V-8, it isn't among the heaviest cars, the build materials are sweet!(honeycomb kevlar and carbon fibre) The interior is freaking awesome, just like the rest of this car. Oooooooh buddy, my vote is for the Koenigsegg CC V8 S!!!!!

:mrgreen:

Ghalos · Nov 24, 2003, 1:26 PM

Point, it's more of a "go out for the afternoon and not have to tow your car to the track" vehicle...
It's bloody fast though...0-100-0, according to Motor Trend, is 11.1 seconds...beating the previous record holder, a 1997 McLaren F1 LM

Sorry, i got the info from the better known, major sites, so i can't help it if the info is wrong... Again, sorry

.

And Bugatti is a French company, according to conceptcarz.com ( the site i got it's info from. ).

I know they wouldn't be very practical, but if you had to choose your daily driver out of this selection, then wich one would be the most practical, that's what i meant :wink: .

Yes, a few cars are a bit out of place on a circuit, but i put them on the list cause they are one's country best sportscar.

According to fast-autos.net, this car is already in production...

220mp/h is about 330-340km/h. And it's top speed is 338km/h.

Well, i guess that's possible, but then we'd get huge differences ( ex. the Zonda C12-S 7.3 is over 800.000 euros while the D8 210 Sport is about 53.000 euro's. ).

The original Bugatti was French. The EB 110 was built by an Italian company that boght the name. They then sold it to Volkswagen. Also, your stats for the Enzo are accurate. Sure some magazines may have gotten better times, but 3.3 is a good average. I think that the new Bugatti Veyron shold be on the list, as well as the Porsche Carrera GT. I'd pick the Koenigsegg CC because it has good looks and good performance. It's also some what practical.
