Fell free to make suggestions but keep in mine this is supposed to be a Supercar somthing that definds american sport car. The new z06 maybe the new mustang no. All spec provided by Supercars.net

O yah i forgot to say i pick the Vector sure it may not be the fastest but when it came out it was. Also check out the jet fighter insipred cockpit. With the vector you get a car designed by a guy who used to designer aircraft and EXTREME rareness. 18 W8 made.

[NISSANSPDR]

You forgot the Mosler Raptor....


But I'd take the Ford GT...it brings a heritage, great motor, and looks the best IHMO...and you dont have to spend half a million on it...

the s7 saleen tt

why? cause it will kill everything on the street, including every car mentioned above

[M3FordBoy]

Ford GT for me, but you could probley of guessed that. It's fast cheap (for a supercar), looks good (the S7 TT has to many slits they added 28), and it's a FORD. I think the last one isn't a very good point for all but good enough for me. Don't flame like crazy just a joke.

Oh and the Ford GT is rated at 550hp not 500.

[Thourun]

Saleen, Gotta have the light carbon fiber body and enough downforce to drive upside-down. Then the vector because they're just so cool and retro. Then ford because... well... its a ford that looks like a dune buggy to me, thats not a supercar lol.... Ohh and its a ford so thats a big nono!

Being the fastest doesnt mean you're the best...hell everyone loves the Enzo cuz it's the fastest Ferrari...ppl love the McLaren F1 b/c it was the fastest production car...blah blah blah...

I like cars w/character and speed...I mean if you gave me a Pagani...I would drive it...but not love it...sure it's fast and it has edgy styling...but I'd rather have a GT anyday...I havent seen one and probably wont...and I dont care if the Pagani is rarer...GT has class and history...unlike the Pagani

That's just a for instance...

[Dreamspawn]

Damn i knew i forgot one has nebody check out that vector interior i'll try to post some pics up later that way u dont' have to goto the link

[Rakshas]

In presnt company, the Saleen.

But didn't pontiac make a suprcar in the 80's?

Or at least a wierd highly customizable car?

[Muscletang]

This is a hard choice to make here. I love the looks on the GT, but I also love the performance on the S7.

Here is the choice I'd make. Take the engine and driveline out of the S7 and put it in the GT. I'd have the best of both worlds.

If I had to pick just one though I'd probably go with the S7. I don't think it looks that bad but the performance is un-godly and that's what gets my attention.

[SuperHighOutput]

I'll take a Ford GT, it's the only one of the choices I've had an up-close look at. I'd consider trading my first born male for one.
