Jeez, that is a big list. Here is how I rate them (money not being an issue).

458
LFA
GT3 RS
LP 550
R8 V10
GT2
SLS
GTR
Turbo
ZR1
Viper


No McLaren in the list cause I haven't read even a single driving impression about it, but it could go right to the top.

Wow:
1. SLS my choice..cause its a piece of art..
2. Dont like the design of the Mclaren..to boring
3. Ferrari looks wierd..
4. Audi is crazy..a great car..but to similar to the V8 version
5. 997 Turbo..my god..i feel sick not chosing it..
6. Corvette..crazy car..but interior sucks ass..
7. Viper.. I rather drive a mini cooper...
8. Gallardo.. It was between this and the SLS and im still not sure if i made ther right choice..
9. GT2.. Drool just Drool..but i think its to much for me to handle..
10. GTR probably the best bang for the buck..but when i can chose without paying..ile pass
11. Lexus.. To ugly and to expensive..
12. GT3.. What can i say..a master piece.. but to harsh for everyday use..

So SLS for me..
And i feel bad for not chosing the others..
I cant even say that this would be my real choice..
I have to drive em all..but sitting here behind my computer..ile go for the SLS

LOL I had to, every sport orientated generally new supercar that came to my mind, sorry.

I would say overall used for everything generally on my polls most you would feel comfortable with living daily and driving daily whether that is the streets or on the track.

Laurent T is on a distinguished road
Sls

Money set apart, otherwise GT-R would win, here is my ranking.
I would not consider hardcore use with long time on circuit, maybe more a GT approach, this is why the SLS wins my voice, as it appears to be the best all-around package. Also, this is by far my favorite looking car currently.
Next and by order of preference
Nissan GT-R: which spec I don't really know. On cost of Spec-V is crazy compared to base model, but it would get my preference maybe over the base spec. Has to prove it can be a daily driver, very limited tests so far of it.

Porsche 911 GT2: a long time favorite. Not sure it would be a great daily user though...
Audi R8 V10

Porsche 911 GT3 Mk2 (standard or RS): not a big fan of the Mk2 look, hence low position.
Ferrari 458 Italia: the best car here... but I hate the design which I found uninspiring. Not thrilled at all be it. 599 Fiorano remains by far my favorite Ferrari in the current line-up
Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni
Porsche 911 Turbo Mk2
Lexus LF-A: too expensive for a Lexus, not convinced by some design details

The americans in a same package - quality level too low as far as fit and finish are concerned, not supercar level.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR
Dodge Viper SRT-10
Not ranked:McLaren MP4-12C: look OK but not exciting. Technical sheet looks exciting but need to proves it on the road.

Simply said. I car like that has to make me dream... and currently, the only which achieves that is the SLS.

Once most have voted, the lesser vote cars should be removed and voting started again (new poll) after two or three polls we should come up with two or three winners.

There should only be one Porsche, Viper, and GTR in the pole, you should fix it.

Choose the ZR1 here…it's a fantastic car with poor build quality. But jsut listen to the sound of the engine will make me forget about this…

Ah - what a "super" poll. Crazy difficult to choose, really...

So, I went with the Ferrari 458 Italia. It's the supercar of the moment in all honesty because - as much as I'm a fan of it - Mercedes' SLS is just a tad too heavy, too big and too old school (in terms of cabin position, visibility etc) to make it into my top 3.

So it's 458 Italia for being a sensational looking and sensational to drive, modern interpretation of the mid-engined entry-level Ferrari theme. It raises the bar and I feel that only the MP4-12C will be able to match or surpass it.

No.2 on my list is the incredible Audi R8 V10, primary reason being that the manual is the transmission of choice and that the car is still usable on normal public roads without the need for weekly chiropractor appointments. It's a spectacular all-rounder and it's simply handsome in any setting. A great driver's car that does everything right and nothing wrong.

Porsche 911 Turbo PDK with Sport Chrono pack. The return of the all-weather, all-season, everyday supercar. It's a car that not only looks fantastic in that traditional 911 manner but also brings new levels of usability and fuel efficiency to the supercar market. It's a tourer, street dicer and track star all in one go... and, why now not a manual? Well that's the reason that the GT2 didn't make it into my top 5; that clutch - frankly - I'm simply not man enough to handle that monstrously heavy clutch in urban traffic. You'd have to an Olympian weight-lifter to make it out of Jo'burg, London or New York without busting out into cramp every 10 minutes. Honestly, I've never felt anything like it.

The GT3 RS just slips into 4th... again, a heavy clutch and trackday bias means that I'd have to be fabulously wealthy to have a GT3 RS as a strictly weekend supercar. Even though it is the epitome of rear-engined boxer hotness.

As for 5th place - yeah - I'd be happy with an SLS!

SLS for me, I just love it to death. It's a fantastic piece of workmanship, design, noise, sport and everyday useability. I absolutely adore that car.

Second would be the GT3 RS Mk.2, stunning track-beast, just gorgeous to look at, drive, listen to.

Then, well, I dunno. Not crazy about the 458, the Macca looks kinda uninspiring and was delayed which is no good sign, the Turbo is my least favourite 911 while the GT2 is clearly too expensive for what it does, I never really liked the R8 all that much... The GTR is appealing but if money is no issue I want something else. Lambo is way too brash for me.

Maybe the Corvette, it's an incredible car.

But really, the two I really love are the SLS and the GT3 RS. Or not RS, for that matter.

No love for LFA, Martin? I would have guessed it would have figured somewhere in your top 5 (having suspended the 'price' factor).

Having just viewed the recent vids in the LFA thread, I'd say there's most certainly love for the LFA, it's just that I can't bring myself to lease a Lexus - no matter how fantastic that V10 sounds or how sweet the handling appears to be.

So, SLS trumps LFA for me personally.

Of course, if I were to rationally factor in price then a GT-R would be in my top five for being the people's champion that it is...

R8 over 458 over SLS. I would have a hard time putting the rest in order...

I went for the Turbo. It is the most perfect all purpose car from this group IMO.

MeanAffe is on a distinguished road
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: Not liking the looks, has an awkwardly looking monocoque, Gullwing doors too fancy
Macca: Boring on the outside, unimpressive inside
Italia: Never been a Ferrari fan. Strange looks at first sight but 'Hmmmmm' at the second and 'Hmmmmm' to drive as well.
Audi R8: Awesome design, fantastic engine and more than engaging driving dynamics. Looks like an R8, though
Porsche Turbo: Maybe the most balanced machine here.
ZR-1: Never liked GM and any its products.
Dodge Viper: Poised or poisoned?
Lambo: Too fancy.
Porsche GT2: Not as racy as the GT3
Nissan GT-R: Carried Godzilla's name for a reason. Nowadays computerised bullet train.
Lexus LFA: Toned-down, uninspiring design, too expensive, too weak in comparison to Ferrari's V-8 powered Italia.
Porsche GT3: Why get a GT3 when you could get an RS?
Dodge Viper ACR: Still undecided whether poised or poisoned is the more appriopriate word...
Porsche GT3 RS: Racy, great looks, dream of an engine, a typical Porsche grocery getter -> sportscar of choice.
