My personal choice is the LP640 because of the design and this: "it is the quickest of the pack in a straight line, gets a solid 1.0 g on the skidpad, and is the most thrilling and involving car to drive" My second choice would be the ZR-1. When I was in US there were Corvettes everywhere so its not a rare sight over there but here in Sweden its not as common. Imagine the look of the SL65 BS or the LP640 driver, you have paid a fortune for the car and you see a Vette in the mirror following you around, no matter how hard you try to escape the car. ZR1 is one amazing cheap little performance car.

To me, the ZR1 and the Mercedes are eachothers opposites and therefore the latter may be equaly appealing. I have never liked the looks of the Lamb and it is AWD, which is another negative feature in a car like this. Viper? No. I kind of liked the original (red) RT/10 because of its complete lack of finesse and, as we all know, extemes always appeal.

P.S, You guys are forgetting about the LP670-4 SV thats comming out next month. That will destroy the competion for sure. |

It is the most raw car here with no electronic gadgetry and bluffs, it is a real world monster for the road & track. It returns the best fuel economy and can be yours for much less than the outclassed Merc. The BS in my opinion looks way to over done much like a Lexus IS-F. Sure the standard SL65 is gorgeous but this is to much.
