Have you never seen one in real life?

My favorite car is the Dodge Viper RT/10. I got a 1/18 scale version of it for my 5th birthday and since then it is my favorite car

Ford GT or Macca F1.

The Ford is the best car for the money and the Macca is the best car ever, period.

I've never seen one and don't really care to. I'm a heritage type of guy and all these million dollar manufactures do absolutely nothing for me. Just a look at me car and really nothing else.

Miura are frisking Amazing cars. They have beauty from every angle and that pic you posted is breath taking. My issue with it being here is it's manufacturer I have no respect for. Lambo has also done nothing to make it self a real car player in the world. A few tries ( to no avail) into the sportscar racing leagues but never successful. Lambo will continue as a flagship look at me car and nothing else. Their lack of interest in proving their cars worthy will forever cloud my view of them

That said I hope to own a Miura one day as bad as they are to drive. They are a piece of automotive art that really standout in my book.





Gt3 over cgt for me simply because of my love for gt 911's

My cgt is everything I've ever wanted in a car. IMHO it's possibly the most beautiful car ever built. It's non turbo'd beast of engine inspires the squeeze of the throttle whenever possible while remaining smooth and precise like nothing I have ever driven.

It's not a easily driven daily driver tho. Poor visibility for around town driving coupled with a car that attracts large gatherings whenever it is parked while also taking a little bit more room to enter and exit make it not so fun of a daily driver. The doors must swing full open to get in and out of. It's only real negative in my book.

My gt3 the exact opposite. Precise. Beautiful. Responsive in all situations. Easily daily driven. Subtle and low key in comparison to the cgt.......just another 911 is what most would think.....making it easy to take to dinner or work or for groceries. All around without question the 911 fits my choice for Top car in the world. The OP also asks for top manufacturer. Porsche is LEAGUES above the rest. No one in the same hemisphere in my book.

Racing heritage bursting from the seams
Desire to win at all levels
Desire to create year after year a newer bigger badder model for it's customers.
Porsche is a shareholders wet dream. I just can't say enough about how many good things they have done since the 50's when they started making their rolling sculptures.

Possibly what defines Porsche best was their attempt last year at the 24 hrs at the Ring with a bone stock gt3 RS hybrid. Added race seat for driver safety. Drive it from the factory. Run it 24hrs straight and take 13 th overall. This without question speaks volumes of what Porsche is all about...

Rave over

Don't get me wrong I love my cgt with a passion. It just doesn't fit the op's question.

I'm as anti ford as anyone in the world but I agree the ford gt is a ton of car for a buck and a half. Good choice with a manufacturer that has definitely proven itself around the world.

F1 is an amazing beast but it's got issues as well. Not drivable daily is it's biggest problem. Overheating issues plague this car and won't go away. They are beautiful and Mclaren has dabbled in racing over the years . I wouldn't kick one out of the garage tho. Very very very cool car

In giving this some thought, the 427 S/C Cobra is without question my favorite car of all time, but Shelby isn't even really a manufacturer, so in that case it is Porsche, without question. My favorite car by Porsche is the 917k in Gulf livery, favorite street legal car by Porsche, an easy choice

Porsche 911.

They are all gorgeous cars, easily daily driven, and run forever. Supercars are awesome and while I would no doubt love to own one, the fit, finish, and durability of a Porsche is unmatched IMO.

Dodge/Chrysler

My viper was drop dead the best sport/super car that I have ever had, and I have had a lots of crazy cars. Indestructible and it cost absolutely nothing to take care of other then tires.



And I know I get flak for this but I love my prowler's. I have had 4 and another on the way. They are just fun little cars, really similar in feel to my actual hot rods but quite a bit more comfortable. I like my 28' more though.



If I had to pick a second.
