^ I am interested in bikes to a lesser extent. I think they're fabulous but am terribly wary of them. Too many horror stories.

Thanks for that HP2 pic. Damn, that's one hot Motorrad number! Oh and guess what; it's got a boxer engine too (whoopdeedoo)

But in the end it is GTR, that is unbeatable when it comes to the value proposition, if you can manage to snatch one at MSRP (or even 10k above).

+1

GT-R for me. Even though I haven't driven or even seen one in the metal. If the GT-R proved to be not as good as the reviews and performance stats, then I would go with the M3. I don't think the small performance advantage over the M3 of some of the other models for twice the price could be described as good value in my opinion.

For someone shopping for an Enzo, that is pretty good value.

911 Turbo for me. It is the quintessential German sports car.

I can't understand people's choices in this poll! Or maybe this poll is just obtuse.

How can people be voting for cars like the 911 Turbo and Audi R8? The 911 Turbo make no mistake is an epic car and it's an all time favourite of mine. But is it good value for money? Maybe - if you've got that kind of money...

But bear in mind, a 911 Turbo is 3 times the price of an M3 (down here at least) and an R8 is double! Now, for sure the R8 is an epic piece of dynamic machinery but the question is: is it worth two M3's, or alternatively, is it worth an M3 Coupe and a C63 AMG?

The 911 Turbo and R8 are fantastic value for money - only if money is no object. In real value vs. all-round performance terms, the M3 is the bang-for-buck king. Not even the el-cheapo Jap rally replicas can match the M3's combination of premium quality in every detail and motorsport specification mechanicals.

Ouch!
not a single vote for the ZO6 or the SRT-10,
Americans get no love

I suppose the results would have still been the same in part of voting for the Corvette even if the base model was included instead of the ZO6.

That one was really hard, I was undecided to choose having M3, Gt-R & Gt-3 in list, but voted for Gt-3 at the end

...!
