Best supercar

[MR_Candyman]

would the lack of ABS and the like not contribute to nonlegalness?

no, actually ABS is still an option (and rightfully so, I hate ABS on most vehicles). ABS hasn't actually shown to prevent accidents at all. It helps improve cornering in high-braking situations, but for one, most people don't turn at all when approaching an accident right in front of them, and secondly, those that do, most of them are better off using a quick hard jab at the brakes, and steering while applying the throttle. ABS increases the minimum stopping distance, which when stopping in a straight line like most people do, is actually a safety concern. Statistics determine everything, and the statistics haven't changed at all since the introduction of ABS. Right now ABS is more of a selling feature, and some manufacturers are considering havin the base models without ABS and having it an option once again.

Personally, I find only certain manufacturers pull off a good ABS system, the rest don't work worth beans.

As someone before said, power isn't what makes the best supercar. It's the one that's your personal favorite, no matter if it's the fastest car in the world (TVR CS12 or Koenigsegg CC, they both claim they are) cos at the end of the day this extra 10mph isn't going to make any difference in the way you drive the car. Also at the end of the day not many people here will ever get the chance to own one, so post whichever supercar makes you dream the most!

[vraa]

Whereever you guys are seeing the Koni or the TVR being the fastest, show me a credible link. Until then, IMO the McLaren is still the fastest.

But best supercar? Far from it.

SL65 or something. :) A lot of power, and it's packed with luxury.

If half those cars can be on that list, I don't understand why none of the Mercedes AMG's are.

[Juguard]

Let me put it this way, the only Street Car thats faster than the Ford GT, is the Ferrari Enzo.

I love the Enzo myself.

yep, my point precisely. your "leet", xx using, z replacing s username entitles you to not comprehend the statement which i made.

I don't see how that is "leet" as I had this name before I even knew about CS or anything. So because I have X's in my name I don't understand you? Time to wake up and get out of your hole kid.

Anyway. The best supercar would have to be either Enzo or CGT.

The Chrysler ME Four Twelve

The engine is from AMG, with 850 bhp @ 5750 rpm, with 850 lb-ft. (1150 N-m) of torque between 2500 and 4500 rpm on premium unleaded fuel. 

With a curb weight of just 2880 lbs. (1310 kg), the ME Four-Twelve has the weight-to-power ratio of 3.4 lbs/bhp ? a new performance record.  In actual Chrysler speed runs, the ME Four-Twelve goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds, and it will blister through the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 135 mph.  The estimated top speed of the ME Four-Twelve is 248 mph (400 km/h).

well im not a fan of supercars, i like the skyline but that one looks cool

[VGVL]

Mercedes-Benz CL65. Fast and elegant. Its a "power in disguise" kind of car. :shifty:

[turbomonkeycock]

Does this prove the Koenigsegg is the fastest?

[Emohawk]

Its gotta be that 1600 BHP Top Secret Skyline.

290mph mmmmm

[JakeM741]

I think that the best all around "super car" is the Porsche Carrera GT, but for top speed the Koenigsegg CC takes the cake.

I absolutely LOVE the SL55 (there's one not far from here) but imo they don't count as "supercars" as such, just very very good sports cars. Although I guess if I've got the 8-series beemer there I might as well add the CL55 and the such.

[Favorable7404]

Excuse me, but is there any resource describing all these lovely supercar features? Just for me to choose. :)

[El Bourricot]

Image google any of them I guess. Wikipedia is also very good, it will have a short description of every car.

Saw my first SLR IRL today.... WOW... that car is a cross between a dragster and spiderman, looks odd but awesome!

[Ivand]

The ligy is faster than that sorry... http://www.fast-autos.net/lingenfelter/lin...elter427tt.html

want more proof just search around google...

585877596[/snapback]

We are talking about production cars.. right?

[El Bourricot]

Ivand: Yep. And we're talking about what's your favorite, not which one is the fastest (fastest production car is the CC as said before; fastest non-production car is the Thrust SSC at 1227.985 km/h (763.035 mph)).

[J=n=o]

the best supercar to me is the koenigsegg ccr (a much better version of the CC)

[J=n=o]

the best supercar to me is the koenigsegg ccr (a much better version of the CC) and is the fastest production car

[turbomonkeycock]

It's actually the CCR that holds the speed record, not the CC. At least that's what I seem to remember

[El Bourricot]

Yeah it is sorry. Details details...

I knew it was the latest one, but I couldn't remember if that was the CC8S or the CCR. CC fits both.

[Blues]

I voted mclaren...

because .. well.. it is..

I am however saddended to see the word ricer next to skyline.

I picked Skyline. Gotta love a R32!

BTW, Blues, like the sig. love older Evos! :D

[Argote]

the Porsche Carrera GT is my fav... the Koenigsegg is the best on the list thou

[jak0bk]

I would have to say the McLaren F1 LM, just for the utter technology that is involved.

First off, it has two 3/4 HP fans that suck air from under the car and blow it into ducts that propel it skyward. This creates two really good effects. The first is the vacuum it creates under the car. It literally sucks the car to the road. The second is the downforce created by the propulsion of the air skyward. Great. Innovative. Yes... please.

I love the Enzo, but on top of that... I would say the Ferrari F50 GT. It eats all.

Ferrari pwns joo.

Oh yeah... Skylines aren't supercars. They are slow and fat. 3500 lbs and only 276 HP... come on!

Any car though... it'd have to be the Ferrari F2004. 945 HP... 875 LB/FT. 1300 LBS. One... fast... beast. Yes, please.

[YaZoR]

GT40

Way before it's time, and looks amazing.

Oh and I like the look of Aston Martin's Vantage's.
