Great job with the thread Bruce
The most likely winner here is without a doubt the GT3, it is better than ever. If it doesn't win the GTB or the LP640 will take the price to Italy.

Thanks Luw

I know the GT3 is hugely popular with EVO, they admit it and it's no surprise Porsche's are popular with EVO (they won like 7 times or something )

The first vehicle i would exclude is the LP640, don't get me wrong, it's and utterly fantastic vehicle, my favourite vehicle from all of these, but i think the award should go to someone else.

That leaves the Ferrari and the Porsche and from there it's really hard for me. The GT3 as you said, is better than ever. It's the best performing GT3 ever made, it looks fantastic and while haven't driven the vehicle my self you know it drives well

The 599 on the otherhand is new to the market and i think that's why it gets my vote. Of course it's worth mentioning the 599's ballastic speed and driving dynamics. It's the latest Ferrari GT and it's a replacement for the iconic 550/575 Maranello.

Mr. M

From the list it's clear to me that the 599 will win.

Porsche 997 GT3 is my fave on that list, so it gets the vote !!!!

Tycoon

Damn! There's 599, AM, GT3... No idea who's going to win and for me it's really hard to vote.

klier

For me it's the Ferrari, hands down.

I voted for LP640 but Ferrari 599 is a close second and Porsche 911 GT3 a close third.
