Mclaren F1 - Best Performance Car in History? Get Voting!!!
Autocar magazine : Read more about the feature here. Basically you get the chance to vote for your favourite performance car in history, which they have included the F1, Veyron, Viper, Mini, F40, Enzo, 911 etc etc
Get Voting here to get the F1 to be the Best Performance Car in History. I want to hear stories of blisters on your clicking fingers from Clicking on the F1 so many times 
EDIT - the weblink for the voting seems to be a bit dodgy, hopefully they'll sort it soon..........
EDIT 2 - seems to be all sorted now, F1 still in the lead but only by 216 points (by the thickness of its gold leaf.... come on everyone, get voting for the F1 !!)

Re: Mclaren F1 - Best Performance Car in History? Get Voting!!!
I dont rate that pole, there is no Countach, i mean i know it wouldn't win but it should at least be there. It did stride across all of the 70s and most of the 80s as the ultimate dream car, so in my opinion it should be in the pole.I will now hide while you all rip me to shreds!!

OK, did my bit. A lot of cool cars missing, though.

Re: Mclaren F1 - Best Performance Car in History? Get Voting!!!
Come on McLaren!!
I keep ending up with the F40, E-Type and Murcielago as second. I dont think that the murciealgo deserves to be up with the likes of the others, its just i have a soft spot for it as i was lucky enough to drive one for my 18th birthday!
I take it that whichever car wins will get a large feature in the magazine? Hope so - should make an interesting read.

How can you even compare the two...  Besides it says best performance car, not best super taxi

Well, obviously, you dont know much about THAT M5 then...the fact that it was offered with a 6 speed manual only says a lot. But hey...to each his own...
