One Car from Each Brand

My choices:

Chevrolet Z06 - quite simply the best bang for your buck
Dodge Viper GTS-R-great racecar...I'd love to take her out to Laguna!!!
Ferrari F40-V8 TT in a lightweight car EQUALS kick butt!!!
Ford GT40 MK I-Fine looking and performing car
Honda Accord Type R-Doesnt get much love but I like it better than the NSX for sure
Jaguar E Type-another great car that can be made into an awesome racecar
Lamborghini Miura-V12's w/exceptional beauty
Lexus IS300 (but w/2JZ-GTE hehehe)-not bad looks, RWD, stick now!

Mercedes Benz CLK GTR (muhaha)-hey it's a racecar!!!
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Makkinen Edition-lighter than the GSR w/the rally paint scheme to boot!!!
Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec II (R33)-IMHO...better looking, and just as fast as any Skyline
Porsche 959- so good it's illegal here!!!
Saab 9-3 Viggen-I like the 17 inch wheels and the looks of it in blue

well... the r32 and r33 were as quick if not quicker, as well as lighter than the r34... i like the 33 better, that is the model that was in f&f... the yellow car... and it is cheaper than a new one with all the same stuff... i guess if you dont like the body style... i could see that... but i dig the 33

honda accord type r?
what about an nsx type s zero? ass kicker there... you are big on sedans i noticed... why not the audi s8? that shiet is quick too... i like the s4, but the s8 is a serious competitor...

sorry to say but you dont' get the same stuff on the R33 then the R34. the R34 is fully computer controlled, not like the R33 where its still mechanical. plus the R34 has cermanic turbos, as the R33 don't. plus the R34 is a much much faster car then the R33. when the R34 first debuted, they had a 6 car race. it was the R33 vs. the R34, vs. the NSX type S, NSX type S zero, the Evo 5 RS, the Evo GSR, and the RX-7 type RS. lets put it this way, the R34 pasted the R33 on fhte first lap, and it was quicker in every imaginable way. sooooo the R34 is best out of the rest of them. plus the R34 has that in your face angry evil samuari eyes look. if you see a R34 tail gattin you on your rear view mirror, you'd shit a brick. as in the R33's bland ignore me styling. ehhhhhhhh plus its too long for my liking. the R34 has a shorter wheel base for better cornering and is the widest of the 3 plus it also has th emost torque. and has a getrag 6 speed. soo the R34 v-spec II is the fastest GT-R straigh tline and everything.

Reasoning for my choices of some...

R33...I like the looks of it a bit better...the tailights are the same size and I like the wing...it's not as big as the R34's. The R34 does have the better headlights though...but the R33 is cheaper and w/the 40K you didnt spend...you can make it into a badass car...even better than the R34 Blackbird.

F40...I like the V8 TT better than the V12...plus in its era...the F40 was the absolute bomb...carbon fiber and kevlar...curb weight of about 2400 lbs. 487HP or so...damn fast! Plus it comes in a hard top...you can get one optional for the F50..but eh...I like hard top rigidity over the fake hardtop you can put and take off on the F50. I also think it looks better...better hood and tailights.

Accord Type R...I personally dont like the NSX its damn overpriced. Sure it can handle...but it lacks the HP to compete w/its Japanese supercar brethren. I'd take a Supra TT, 300ZX TT or a RX7 TT over a NSX Type S Zero or whatever anyday. The Accord Type R would not be my main car...just a better that no one has over here and looks pretty cool IMHO.

S4...faster than the S8 and more nimble since you dont have all that weight to hold you down. Also cheaper and not as long a wheelbase.

Sedans...they are not all that bad...it's kinda cool when you are in a sedan and you kick down on a coupe!!!

anyway
Lotus - mk1 Elise - much better looking than the new one
Marcos - Mantis - it doesnt get rawer than this, especially with the
optional supercharger bolted on

driver's car, ultimate supercar
Proton - Satria GTi - supposed to be a good drive, i dont think anyone
would know
Renault - Clio Williams - much better than anything recent, including
Clio V6, although Sport Spider one of the prettiest cars on the
face of the Earth

Seat - Ibiza Cupra R 20V Turbo - fast & capable
Subaru - P1 - best looking subaru ever, very fast
Toyota - Celica GT4 - or maybe a Supra

Yugo - who?
