Thoughts?

[Yca]

no Supra???

wierd..!

[boothten]

NO CELICA?!
OMG, THIS LIST SUCKS.
:furious:


Just getting that out of the way before fanboys start
:chuckles:

Seems like a pretty good list though

[Carbonized_GT]

I am genuinely surprised that there are no RX cars on that list.

[Motor]

Two MR2's on the list -- nice.

The Evora (31) just hit dealer lots and it's already in the Top 50. Wow.

[terrj]

Zonda??? and no Supra?!??! word....

[Shizuma]

The teggy made it but NONE of the Civics huh?

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

4g63 powered mitsu on top 10, awesome.

link to original?

[Zero]

The MK1 MR2 should be a bit higher on the list. It's a fun car to drive!

[GSBoek]

As dear as the Ford Puma 1.7 is to Europe as a pocket rocket, if it made the list than the Celica GT-S should have made the list too.

If I have to believe the reviews about the Jaguar XJ220, it shouldn't be on the list at all, it was a pig to drive.

[Sty09]

in b4 celica*** rage.

[Akita]

how they failed to see the awesomeness of mercurys, oldsmobiles, and plymouths is beyond me. :gap:

and wtf at the bugatti veyron at 81? that's got to be higher

[GSBoek]

Not really, you don't drive the Bugatti, it drives you, that's why it's low down the list. :chuckles:

[marc]

No Supra because its a big, heavy touring car cum street drag racer, its NOT an inspiring, agile sports car.

Of course I'm pissed there's no RX cars on there . . . . but the RX-8 is a little numb in the steering department and the RX-7 is a little too vicious for these guys, perhaps - it is a violent car.

The 996 GT3 pleases me - its so much LESS driver friendly than the 997s, which is why its fun!

Nice to see the Type-R so high up the list.

As for "No Celica" - come on guys, drive a Type-R and get back into your Celica - there's no competition. The Celica is basically a GS-R competitor. It comes with a torque-free motor and an open differential.

[GSBoek]

The ITR is considered to be the best handling FWD car, no contest there. That is why I pointed out the Puma 1.7. After driving one and getting into the Celica it will be obvious. The Celica is much more of a driver's car than the Puma. Same reason why the RX8 should have made the list too over the Puma. Number 23 is totally worthy of the list though. :)

[KAT_Ayanami]

no Supra???

wierd..!

What? And why should be the supra on the list?

Other than biggest "fanboy car" ever.
