What's the ultimate sports car? (pics)
 

To me the 911 Turbo is the king! Not beacuse it's the best sports car for the money, I would give that title to the Z06, and not beacuse it's the best sports car hands down. There are faster exotics out there (not much faster) for alot more money. The 911 Turbo is engineering marvel if you think about it, this is a 3.8 Liter engine that produces 480hp and 500hp in "Overboost" and even more in torque. Yet can drive around town very and be sedate reliable and get 18-24mpg Amazing!:)

that is hoooooooooooot

1986 cutlass brougham 4 door

you hit the nail on the head.

EVERY porsche is a piece of art.

they are 100 times more reliable then all these italo-racers and the handling is marvelous.

porsche is the way to go if you are looking for a car you can drive everyday, a car you can go on the racetrack with, a car to cruise and a reliable car

sorry but the topspeed facts are total BS

Why are they BS? I got those infos from the official Koenigsegg website

http://www.koenigsegg.com

it won't get close to 380km/h
believe me

Even if it would i'd never try it :)

I like the Viper

adrenaline at 340 is a bitch

i don't want to know how it is pumping at 380:1orglaugh

Ferrari here for me. :)

:error :1orglaugh

nice cars :thumbsup

I wish they would build the new Acura NSX

Nice car! But just over the top! $$$$$$:pimp

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I agree :thumbsup The 911 turbo is a fucking institution... The design is timeless, and every generation is always at the top of the game.

I also don't think you can group any exotic into the "sports car" category... IMO a sports car should be daily driveable. You can't just start dropping names like the Koenegg which look like spaceships, are owned by maybe 9 people and only get driven to car shows and back.

Err Koenigsegg :1orglaugh Can't spell.

This would be my pick

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

1998 Honda Civic

Damn that is a sexy beast

great choice, one of my favorites too :thumbsup

Still prefer the Z06 - style - bang for the buck - all around

:thumbsup

That's the most accessible one.. at least :P

I cant imagine what the Turbo must be like. I'd settle for a Carrera ragtop, what a great car!

Those are nice but this thing just takes the cake!!

1000 HP off the floor! To bad its 1.7mil and only 300 or so were made....

Do you own a Porsche?
Reading about them on the internet,does not make you an expert.

Porsche doesn't tell you about Turbo maintenance costs.I go through a set of rear tires every 8k miles.Fronts do a bit better.An oil change on my Turbo runs $300. On my Carrera around $250.00.The Carrera does a bit better on tires though.
I have had the Gallardo now nearly a year.I have close to 5k miles on it.So far,it has run flawlessly.Other than a lot of gas,I haven't had to spend a cent on it.The tires all around still look good.I won't need to change them this year.
I have met a lot of Ferrari and Lamborghini owners in the last year,and the new run of cars are every bit as reliable as Porsche.Back in the 1970's Lamborghini,Maserati and Ferrari weren't that reliable I will agree.But that's 25 years ago.Most cars back then weren't reliable.

Fuck that is sweet.

You're sigs cute! :thumbsup

Can you say LAND ROCKET!:winkwink:

Maybe its the whole buning out in the sand thing *shrugs* lol

In terms of the "whole package" being looks, performance, comfort and price I'm going to have to go with the Jaguar XJ220 - it's timeless! :2 cents:

those are really great looking cars..

Sorry but you cannot compare a Chevy to a Porche, Ferrari ect... except in numbers (speed, braking ect...) but never in class and pure driving exctasy.

Porsche is king.

The Koenigsegg is designed and built in Sweden! Viking muscle!

DAMN good answer!

Ferrari Forever !!!

I go with the Aston Martin v12 vanquish i also like the masserrati quadraporte luxury, with sports car feel.

you guys are kidding, right? The Porsche 911 series is over 40 years old in design, it's about time they started to make it, er... good.

I would still take a Corvette Z06 over a Porsche any day of the week.

Nice :thumbsup

I have seen some strret modified cars that are amazing.

The porsche 911, definately. If you choose another car, you obviously didn't understand the question and/or don't have a grasp on the history of sports cars.
