What is your favorite Premium Road Car? (Final Overall)

[hatfield]

I had 2 previous threads with poll for favorites over and under 400HP

Now this is the final with cars from each that scored over 10 votes.

You people not voting the Ford Mustang... 👎

I'm going to have to go with my favorite car (which can beat all of the others, my version anyway), which is the McLaren F1 '94.

The premium Mustang is awful. Nice to look at, but garbage to drive. For me though, I voted for the Aston V12 Vantage. Absolute joy to drive and absolutely gorgeous to look at. Its also very good around the N24 circuit.

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

I voted for the Ferrari 458 Italia.

Other than the F40, I believe this is the greatest super car in the world.
~handles like a dream
~sounds like a proper prancing horse
~speed is definitely fast
~and it's beautiful all around, the 2nd most beautiful car ever imo after the F40

if you want to describe what Ferrari is all about, the F40 would be it.
If you want to show what modern Ferrari's are all about, the 458 is it.

You obviously don't know how to race with it. I would whoop you with it.

You probably could, however, what I meant was that they modeled the wrong version of it. Just as they did with the VWs is the last DLC pack. Not trying to start a flame war. IMO, the standard 05 Mustang is better as a whole.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

It's a hard choice between the '12 GT-R and the Aventador. They're both great cars stock with the stock tires, and they're both nice looking. The Lambo takes it for me, just so damn agressive.

 

[Organ-Donor]

I'm biased, but I do have to say the 458 is incredible, drop dead gorgeous, and has the whole entire package. One of my favorite modern supercars.

The GTR does it all, acceleration lightning quick - (Porsche turbo S and Veyron is the only competition), flys around a track as fast or faster than anything you throw at it, and can run with and beat cars 3-4 times the cost. Can't argue with that.

Edit: I'm on my phone app and thought I was in the auto section talking about real life cars. My opinion still stands though, both great to drive. I'll have to say the Italia a bit more because how it feels, its a little harder to tame and that exhaust sound is so sweet.

Not sure about the Aventador, don't have the DLC.

Oh I took it the wrong way, then. They should have modeled my 2008 V6 Mustang, because it's more badass than the Premium Mustang. And I also agree with the '05 GT.

Did any non-400 BHP cars make it? Ferrari F40 for me, but the 458 winning is perfectly fine as well

 

[GTlondoner]

Has to be the first V12 MR production super car,
The Miura.

Yes, NSX, 86 GT, Elise, S2000, Miura. Just under half since there are 11 entries.

For the record I voted F40 just because when I was younger that was the car I loved from the list. Have a car model of it too. Actually saw one at a car museum in Japan.

What's wrong with the Premo Mustang is it's 5 speed automatic.

They should've modelled the 6 speed manual instead.

 

[eran0004]

It's a shame the Esprit didn't make it.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 does 0-60 just as quick as the Nissan, and continues to blow it away

Technically the GTR is quicker, the Aventador does 0-60 in 2.8-2.9sec from numerous articles I've read, the '13 GTR does 2.7sec with launch control. Not bad for a bone stock car that's $90k vs almost $400k. Of course the Aventador pulls away after 60mph, it has 700hp vs 530hp, plus longer gears for higher speed, and can near 220mph. I love the Aventador though, I've seen 2 in real life and they look just as impressive as their performance. Nothing tops my favorite (Diablo 6.0 VT), but this is coming close.

No Daihatsu Copen, no Audi RS6 Avant, no vote!

Nissan PS13...

Serious question:

I noticed that you have strong affection for Ferrari and that both your avatar and signature reference the manufacturer from Maranello. With that in mind, I am curious why you chose "RoarOfZonda" as your GTP name? I am assuming the "Zonda" you are refering to is the sports car manufactured by another Italian company, Pagani.


I am not trying to upset you. I am genuinely curious.

 

[Tornado]

Depends. Can I cheat and say the GT-R Proto? Because if so, that.


If not, the F40.

Hahaha, no don't worry I get that a lot
I love Ferrari. But I was never BORN into loving Ferrari. It all started in 2008 when I got to sit and drive a 360 Spider.
With that being said, I always thought Ferrari's were just over priced and over rated little cars and I always loved the Ford GT + the Zonda because they looked so unique and flamboyant and I've had the username RoarOfZonda since like 2005 or 2006, it's the username that I used for most other forums.

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

From the list of cars on the poll, I chose the McLaren F1 mainly due to the fact that's the car I've used the most. As a very close second it would be the 458 Italia. Great cars...

Have a good one

Well not enough votes in the preliminary polls so they didn't make the cut.

If not, the F40.

Nissan GTR also covers the GTR Proto.

 

[Slash]

Where is the Ford GT?

Man... The poor 86gt is done for.

Ferrari F430​

* Without a doubt the best and nicest car to drive in GT5 as far as Premium Road Cars go!! 👍

I know it's not the fastest..

 

[MoLiEG]

Lambo Aventador for me!
