[PanterroR]

For me, it's the GT2, hands down!

 

[martinbo]

Surely it's the GT-R once again? It does set some amazing benchmarks for the price.

 

[Centurion]

Didn't the GT-R participate last year? If not it's gonna be the winner or else the GT2. None of the other cars on the list stand out in terms of performance.

 

[DaSilva]

Gallardo LP560-4
"It's a superversion of the R8"
(which was a "winner" last year?)

So I'll give my vote to Lamborghini..

 

[Zafiro]

Its between GT2 or Superleggera.

 

[Sunny]

GTR gets my vote. It defied physics and changed the performance paradigm like no other car in that list.

 

[LaArtist]

Gt-R will win

 

[bmer]

Either GT-R or GT2.

 

[Tarek]

GT-R,hands down

Where's Scuderia?

 

[VroomVroom]

Rs6 hands down! If you put it in perspective...It's an avant and a heavy car with 570bhp and 0-60 of 4.7 secs

 

[DeDe]

GT2

btw: BMW X6? MUHAHA!

 

[ALI]

I think they will give it to the Nissan GTR, mostly for the price reason...

I drove the SL63, and that is one brutal performance car, I loved it ...

 

[Tumbo]

RS6 gets my vote, but I think the GT-R will win.

 

[MikeJ]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the Lambo won.

 

[martinbo]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the Lambo won.

Thanks Mike. Understandable and justifiable result - but had the Scuderia been there as it rightly should have been then I'm certain the outcome would've been different.

 

[Zafiro]

Yes I was right

 

[ateekt]

My vote goes to the M3 followed by Gt-R, performance at any ring & a car to live with everyday ...!
