Here are some of the most memorable, best $100k+ supercars made today.  What would you pick if you could only have one?
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

You can take the troll out of the Subaru, but you can't take the Subaru out of the troll!

Holy shit that's a good one!!!

I personally can't decide between the Enzo and the Veyron.

There.  It's even the Versace edition because I know you like the luxury model.

I'm not adding any more cars after that.

@heelntoe

Payman

My pick would be the Pagani Zonda.




heelntoe

make it a zonda F and i'll also join.
@heelntoe

SVT666

Ford GT.  I would take the Vanquish over all of them, but it's not a supercar.

the Teuton

I caved in and added the Zonda.  But that's it.

Wow, this is a hard one.  My first pick would be the CGT, easily.  Followed by the Koenigsegg, Ford GT, and Zonda. 

2007 Honda S2000
OEM Hardtop, Rick's Ti Shift Knob, 17" Volk LE37ts coming soon...

Out of all of them, I'd pick the Vanquish S.? It's probably the least difficult to live with and most usable, but best of all it lets me fufill all my James Bond fantasies.

On a random observation, I feel we've moved beyond simply then vs now .? This thread is now vs now.? I think that the label for then vs now seems to be a bit limiting for this forum.? It might as well be the polls forum or comparisons forum.? Just a thought.

Veyron.  I just love the way it looks...and performs.

Toughest poll yet!  Went for the SLR....with the Vanquish a VERY close second.

I thought the same thing about my vote for the Lambo!!

My issue of Car with the LP640 Roadster naturally falls open to the Lambo article. Because I keep reading it. :lol: It just looks so utterly outrageous, light years beyond our plebeian modes of transport. I bet it'll still look fresh in two decades, too!

I was going to do something soon like economy cars of the 1980s or something like that to balance it out at some point or another.

CGT easily. Just listen to the thing:

To tell you the truth, In the video of the SLR vs. the 599 (in which somehow the SLR won) The SLR sounded much, MUCH, better.

It was tough, Lamborghini vs. Porsche.  In the end, though, I had to go Carrera GT.  It's like a big V10 Boxster.  And if it's half as good, it'll be damn amazing.
