damn...i'm not sure how to vote. It's either Cobra, F40 or Quattro for me...

Hmm...g/d it - i can't choose :(
 
uh i wish to reiterate my point that the camaro shouldnt be on there. it is the chevy version of the mustang. it was built by chevy in response to the tremendous success of the mustang and chevy had nothing to compete with it. thats like takin a jeep wrangler over the old landrover. the camaro is incredibly cool dont think that im anti chevy or anything but its just a copycat. thats my 2 cents again.
 
Mini!!!

Where can you go wrong? how can something so small kick so much ass? I try almost everyday to convince my friends the cornering speed you can hold in a Mini...when will they learn you dont need 2 tonnes worth of useless Holden to go fast?
 
Thanks Evo, cheers Live.
All of the cars in this poll, are nominated by member of GTP. I didn't actually nominate any of them, and it isn't a list created by me. So the Maxima (which I was extremly releuctan t to put in) was put in any way, because it was nominated.

BTW to all mods, is there any chance you could put in another option for the poll. Milefile has put in a last minute nomination, and it seems a worthy one with a good reason 👍.

Edit: I won't be able to get it sorted for tonight, or in the next couple of days, as I'm going out now, and pretty much busy until thursday. Sods milefile.
 
Of course, I voted for the Land Rover.

Good work, wee_man! I wondered when this would come along.
 
Thanks Roo :) 👍. Yea, did take my time.

Giles: thanks for the fixing, although I was wondering if you could actually fix the poll so that the 67 pontiac firebird is included ;). Didn't spot the title balls up. Cheers anywayz. 👍 :)
 
I went with the Audi Quatro. It was truly a revolutionary car...............;)
 
the VW beetle. its the car of the century. The model T and of course the 32 were tempting. but this car is just THE car.

I selected the 32 Ford. It's the car that is closest to the Model A Ford, which by far is the greatest car of all time.

I can't believe you didn't include it, along with the Honda Prelude and the Toyota Camry. There are so many of those damn things around here in SoCal.
 
Skyline or Mini from the choices, but your list needs something along the lines of the Bugatti family, or the Skoda vehicles. Those are my supa-faves.

Chevy Corvette
Nominated by Shob The Bob
Started a new breed of cars and has continued to set the standard for the way sports cars should be. It has lasted 51 years in production, and has also had very successful racing periods (most notably the past few years). You gotta give props to an American company that takes on Ferrari and wins...consistently. There is also no other American car quite like it, and in the American market, the only rival that has come close (coming close) to beating it (performance streetwise) is the mustang. In a class of cars usually dominated by European exotics, the corvette has remained a high-performance, well priced car that Americans can be proud of.

Uhh, I believe Dodge makes some car, I can't seem to remember what it is though.
 
About that comment in the Wee Man quote, it says the Corvette beats Ferrari consistentley, I think I'm right in assuming your referring to the race cars, cos the road cars don't come close exept for the Z06 whisch is faster in 0-60 than alot of them but it doesn't go round a track as fast, the 360 Stradale beats it's lap at I think it was Hockenheim by 3 seconds. Then again the Corvette hasn't competed against Ferrari in racing for that long has it?
 
I didn't do the right up on the Vette. Well I don't think I did :odd: . Shob did so point the finger at him ;) .
Live: Yea I presume he meant the track. As you said you can't really compare the raod cars.
 
To Miata13b: No problem...my mom was taken to the hospital in a camaro when she had me:p Dont know what i'd do without it.

To GT4: Doesn't really matter for what reason the car was made, the competition is asking about what we think is the BEST CAR ever (not the BEST REASON for it being built)
 
Yes, I was specifically referring to racing. And sure a 360 can beat a z06 around the track....but then again, for the price, you can buy 2 z06s and a mustang/civic for your child. Cost:performance ratio, its practically unbeatable.
 
I gave my vote to AC Cobra. Shelby Cobra 427 is one of the greatest car in my opinion. Over 7-litre V8-engine producing brutal power, convertible body, side exhaust and about 1000kg dry weight is a wonderful combination. Shelby Cobra 427 can do over 300km/h with tranny which got longer gear ratios than the original, even it's made in the 1960's! Think about that!

It can still out perform and looks better than a lot of other cars today around on the road. For it's time it was perfect. It had a great handling chassis with a big and powerful V8 engine. Great combination British chassis work with American muscle. And for many years it was the fastest stock 1/4 car in road and track, even quicker than the Ford GT40 (be it in road and track tests).
Just my further 2 cents.

Edit: and shob I completly agree with you. I'd take a Vette any day over a Ferrari.
