Favourite car??

What's your favourite car after the McLarenF1??

Mine is the Ferrari F50GT!
Ass kick'n devil car , looks like driving a monster where nothing quite matches up.
It seems almost as difficult to drive as it is taming a wild stallion.
But once you get the hang of it....VROOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

IIIHAHHH!!!

Actually this car makes our dear beloved McLaren sweat bigtime on the track!

Can I choose: McLaren F1 LM ??

Hmmm - you made a good choice with the F50 GT. I'm trying to think here...

I pretty much like all the other recent contenders to the F1s throne equally - Enzo, Carrera GT, Zonda, Koenigsegg, etc...

I'll go ahead and make my second favorite car the Light Car Company Rocket because it probably offers the most incredible driving experience. That Gordon Murray really knew what he was doing, ya know.

I so wish that someone made a small scale (affordable) diecast of it.

Re: Favourite car??

the F50 GT1 is a cool car, but it isnt street-legal. after the F1, i would have to say the Mosler MT900S Photon. its the definition of racecar for the road.

Re: Re: Favourite car??

my second favorite car for on the road is definately the ferrari 250 SWB, in black. The true meaning of the word "gran turismo" is defined in that car, it is the most beautiful coupe ever. (i define a mclaren as a racer, not a coupe)

1. F1 GT (come on, rocking up in that bad ass mobile, it is kick ass on wheels, but clearance would suck so no bumps)
2. Koenigsegg CC8 R
3. cLK GTR road
4 Honda HSC concept
5. Written Off Edonis

I know the F50GT(1) is not street legal, there was only three ever build and had it not been for strong customer demand only one as been buildt.

It's "prototype look" is so brutal!
I think it's the coolest Ferrari of all time.

If I had a F50 I would have went to Ferrari and cryed untill they've rebuilt the exterior like the GT1, and maybe souped it up a little in the same turn

actually, michelotti built the chassis of the f50gt for ferrari, so you're better off asking them :P there is a f50gt for sale at oakfields in london, but they won't reveal the price...

my list:

mclaren f1 gtr 97 (w/gulf-davidoff livery)
pagani zonda c-12s
b-engineering edonis
1964 mini cooper s works 33EJB (rally monte carlo winner in 64)
