I personally would pick the Vette. The lap time it put down was INSANE!

^ Not sure which one I'd pick, but it certainly wouldn't be the 458. In fact the 458 would be circling the drain of that group along with the LFA, GTR and Evora if it were up to me...

Let's make it three .

I'd take the Z06, GT3 RS, and 458 Italia.

Wow almost 2s ahead of the others.
Love to drive a Z06 but hate to own one.

This was supposed to be the best "driver's car" competition, right? IMO, that IMMEDIATELY throws out anything with bullshit flappy paddles and a million "I can't drive, so I'll let a computer do it for me" gizmos. I don't care how much faster to 60 it is than a manual or how many milliseconds they can shift in. No clutch = not a "driver's car."

So, using that logic, if it were up to me:

GT3RS
Z06
Boss 302
Cayman R
1M
Evora
The rest

Not saying the rest aren't great cars, they are. But a "driver's car" has a manual. Period.

^ maybe that explains why my 3 dream cars are a CGT, F40, and Ford GT. No gizmos, no bullshit. Those are real driver's cars and they DEMAND 100% of your attention and respect to drive them. LFA, GTR, 458? My mom could drive those

Nope. I'm sure he would pick the ZO6, GT3RS or Boss.

I'd take a Ford GT over everything in that comparison.
