@Porsche-AG:

I know exactly where my car starts and ends so It will never happen that I would hit it, And I made sure we took a bit of extra space.

Oh, I assumed from your comment that you did hit the 360. What was the owner's reaction to whatever happened, then?

Now you can save the planet by driving a small car that doesn't use much fuel, fit into small parking spots with absolute EASE, and be smexy while you're at it (its a Porsche). :lol:
Um, that's just a 'shopped Carrera GT. Which probably would use a fair bit of fuel with that V10 engine...

I was actually pleasently suprised by these. They drive wonderfully, easily usable on the road, sharp and fantastic handling. Unfortunately, the styling is dire- they look like a lop-sided Renault Laguna.

I've heard they're actually too easy to drive - no fun. :-k

Did I post in this thread yet? No? How'd I miss it?

Anyway, here's my all-time list - I can't really narrow it down so I'm posting them in numerical order.
  • McLaren F1. Need I say more?
  • Ferrari F40. Great weight balance, old-school, brutal - and brilliant for that.
  • Nissan Skyline GT-R - R32, R33, AND R34. Sure, it's cliched nowadays but hey, a Japanese company has been churning out 320HP engines since 1989 - sure, America probably didn't know about them for many years but they existed.
  • Noble M15. Indeed, this may be the next great driver's car - great engineering, a high but tolerable amount of horsepower, and great styling.
  • Koenigsegg CCX - Absolute power pwns absolutely :D
  • Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII FQ400 - just so awesome.
  • Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX100) - not appreciated very much in the US because, well, they are virtually non-existant here. They're really great cars though, they're basically four-door Supras (as are IS300s but we actually have them here so we can't complain about not having them :lol: )
  • Nissan Silvia (S13-S15) - although the US never got the more-powerful SR20DET, they are a (fairly) affordable yet moddable and sporty car.
  • Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 - Mitsubishi's real sports-car IMO; all the way up to the 280HP limit, and has 4wd - seems almost like a GT-R or later Evo to me, but before the Evos really had as much HP!
Of course, this list could stretch on and on; please understand I've cut this list as short as I could. I may change my mind a bit as far as how far up each one is on the list (well, about all of them except maybe the top 3) or whether or not I want to add others; when I do I will edit this post.

The Noble M15 has been constantly delayed, and hasn't actually been released yet. Just so you know ;).

OK here's my revamped list:

Any Skyline, R32-R35 heck even my 1988 R31 GXE.

Gumpert Apollo because despite what Richard Hammond says I reckon it looks VERY cool. And it's fastest around the TG Track.

edo Performance LP710-2 simply because they were actually mad enough to put MORE power in the Murcie.

Bugatti Veyron because on-paper while it isn't the fastest car in the world anymore, it looks 10x better than what is, and better built.

Shelby Cobra: the greatest-looking muscle car IMO ever built, and in 427 S/C guise, insanely quick.

Buick Special: I only remember this from GT4 but it was most definitely a force to be reckoned with in that game. Cobra-eater extraordinare (sp.)

Dodge Viper GTS: say what you want about its shiznit handling I simply love it for the looks. And the sound. Can't forget the sound....

Chrysler ME Four-Twelve: Two words: kickass concept.

Lexus ISF: looks the shiz and awesome sound to boot. That and it contends the M3 and CLK63 with ease...

Lambo Diablo 6.0 VT SE: IMO one of Lambo's finest.

Lamborghini/Italdesign Cala: Why the hell didn't they produce this?

2003-2005 Subaru WRX STi: the best looker of the Rexes. That and SIC EM was one as well :(

300C SRT8 Hemi: isn't very advanced, doesn't really handle that well, and eats up the tyres very quickly, but the presence of one rolling on 22s... =P~

- Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe ( :mrgreen: )

I've recently become more interested in Skylines, but not the the R-xx models . . . More like the KPGC-10, aka Hakosuka.
Damn I would love to have one of those, original grey paintwork and riding on fat Watanabes =P~ mmmmmmm


I wonder if they are legal for import over here :-k

I quite particularly like the Infiniti G37/Skyline Coupe. Nice looks but still has some grunt to boot.

I'm a Lambo fan and I don't particularly like that Gallardo...maybe because the lack of a rear end takes the sexiness away from it... Because thats what I feel a Lambo is pretty much about, style over power, even though it has a lot of it. The exception to this rule is the LP710-2.

Perhaps the lack of a rear is done to show what actually moves that Gallardo? :idea:

Meh, still think 1025hp is too much.
