I vote for the GT3 rs. But I am shocked at the time the Z06 put up.

 

i vote for 458, which is mysterious absent. forget the rest, they are either not powerful enough or too heavy.

 

I'm not.

They will release more and more. The 458 is guaranteed to be in it. I have only posted the ones that have been released thus far.

 

I don't know how any car with flappy paddles is a "drivers car" IMO.

 

I agree but that would leave out all of Italy, all of Japan, and part of Germany.

 

Bang for Buck I'm going with the ZO6

 

2 seconds doesn't lie. I'm interested in seeing who else will be on the list.

 

Z06 layed it down! Best f*ckin car out there

 

Besides looking mean and being bloody quick the Z06 makes the sort of sound that give me goose bumps
