[Heldenzeit]

The Ferrari, especially in race trim. There's one sitting on my desk at work even.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Miura. It gave the world the De facto supercar formula that is normal today.

 

[synchromesh]

De Tomaso Mangusta. Very ahead of its time and it's beautiful in my opinion.

 

[CyborgGT]

Another poll with an obvious winner that I personally don't really care for. I'd buy a Cobra first, but I never viewed it as a supercar. Beyond that, I'm still a front-engined kinda guy. Daytona for me.

 

[Cowboy]

I choose the Shelby, but oh that Mangusta

[Dolph Drago]

They're all so beautiful...I can't choose.

Miura was tough for me, but who doesn't want a snake like the Cobra to shake the roads with it's mean engine and looks? I can't say no to that.

Cobra will remains oen of my faves, and one of the absolute best american cars to have found in the world. And I thank you for that, Carroll. You legendary bastard.

 

[LM7325]

Sad to not see the Beast of Turin, Chitty Bang Bang 1, or Ford 999 not on the list for orgins of the supercar.

I vote for Muira.

 

[All Your Base]

Really hard for me, but I went with the 365 GTB Daytona because it is the most beautiful in my opinion. Also, pop-up headlights. However, the Miura was very, very close.

 

[DCAR Savage]

Oh my.. that Ferrari Daytona is gorgeous. Wasn't a hard choice for me, for me that Ferrari is on another level.

 

[The87Dodge]

Cobra 427 for me. The fact that it's an American classic supercar, which there're not too many of, makes it cooler. Not to mention it's good looks and high performance. The engine makes a nice sound, too.
