OK, here i go.
Post the name and maybe a pic of your fav car or two. I just wanna see what other ppl think, not to start a war over what manufacturer/type engine/model/country is better. Everyone likes something different, live with it. Go ahead and say why, aswell, preferably tech specs and hard facts, not just "cause"

Mine?
Porsche 959

postin a pic later, getting interrupted...

2002 Lamborghini Murcielago - Why?..Hmm 432.5 kw & 330km/h is a good enough reason :p , and it looks sexy.





The Lotus Carlton - Why?, Totally amazing car, VERY rare, Top speed out of the factory = 174Mph :cool:

My favorite car is the f-body (camaro/firebird) quick picture below of a firehawk next to a Camaro SS. There the nicest cars on earth!

Standard
200HP/225FT LBS TQ

z28/trans am
310HP/340FT LBS TQ

SS/WS6
325HP/350FT LBS TQ

With some SLP modifications to undo what chevy did (detuned the performance.

SS/Firehawk
350HP/350FT LBS TQ

OK! 959 Time
The 1984-88 959, with only 30 US version ever made, and only 2 of those legal in the US. Bill Gates happens to own 4 of the illegal ones.

0-60 in 3.5
450Hp out of a 2.8L Flat six w/sequential turbos
13mpg

10 years ahead of its time, the most sought after Porsche ever made, bar none, and the fastest production Exotice for the next 5 years (beaten only by the 93 RUF CTR 4 "YellowBird")

Check it out:

Sorry, had to post one more thing.
For those of you that think the 959 is a "standard" Supercar. The real kicker is what it was originally intended for......


.... rally!

The new Nissan 350Z is due out in .au soon.

I havnt the time to go grab the stupid qtvr plugin and snap a bigger pic of it, so checkitout for yourself:
http://www.nissan.com.au/z/gallery.asp

Im not quite sold on the exterior, I like the 300zx alot better, which goes double with pretty much all these concept cars lately. Not too keen on the bubbly exterior.

Interior is to die for, however. Better than my last place. And for 60K, cheaper too. :)

I would actually LOVE one of these one day.


Honda S2000.
Drove one the other day...fell in love...they handle VERY well, and they go like the clappers, they are comfortable and reliable :)

Specs:
Engine: 2 litre inline 4 cylinder, DOHC VTEC :lips:
Power: 176kw @ 8300rpm
Gearbox: 6 Speed close ratio manual

They also have LSD which is nice.

These things run rings around most other stock sports cars in Australia.

THE most fun car I have ever driven.
