Hmmm....
458 Speciale, because it's special. Plus, it means that the 458's replacement is just around the corner.
Although, the c63 AMG makes a good case for itself.
The CSL has radio/AC delete, and you can't put anything in the trunk and the tires...you can't drive that thing in the rain. The GT3 has fire issues.

Lets see....

A rolls runs on a 7 series chassis which is built by BMW = GERMAN

A rolls engine is built and engineered with a BMW V12 = GERMAN

GERMAN > British  ;D

This is coming from me that owns a ranger rover sport btw

going to bed last night I was thinking the same damn thing, but was too lazy to post it. lol

ghost is a 7 series

Bentley is a Volkswagon

then again, the Italians have a lot of german engineering as well now days.... not saying that's a bad thing, however.

if I had to pick one and only one car, it'd be either an S63 or S65.

My dad has the S63 as his daily, the bi turbo one just when they switched over from the 6.2 motor

Being a huge porsche fan myself I'll go with the Ferrari 458 as well

For the price of a used Aston Martin or used 911 you can buy a new C7 with full warranty, new-car smell, the exact options and colours you want, etc.

my point was 911's were more affordable. can easily be had for the cost of a vette and they have more 'prestige' or however you describe it ('pussy magnet/panty dropper' effect or something)... most ppl will see a 911 and think 'wow... a Porsche, that guy must have some money' and not realize you can get them for $35-40k... and cost of maintaining them isn't far from a vette, if not cheaper.

To be fair most peopl would think the exact same if someone's driving even a Porsche boxter or Cayman.  Most people don't know the difference, sometimes I even have trouble telling them apart.  

Why should status or a badge matter?  One thing I like about the Corvette is that by driving one you're showing that you don't give a fukc about status, you could have bought among many Euro status-cars for the same price but didn't care for that prestige and instead just wanted a bad-ass car that'll perform and look great.  It shows a sense of humility.

I don't see why anyone would ever consider a Jag. There is a far superior car in every class it competes in.

Even the F Type. Completely outclassed in every way by the significantly cheaper Corvette C7 Z51. Hell, the new Z06 next year will barely be more expensive than a full loaded F type probably and absolutely DEMOLISH it.

An Aston though. God, nothing is classier than a DB9

Your post is music to my ears :)

We have similar taste!  

When I was a teen I stumbled across the first C5 that I saw in person and immediately fell in love and decided "I want one someday."  When I got my first car out of school, I couldn't afford a vette so I got what I felt was the next best thing - a 4th generation Trans Am.  A few years ago I was thinking of getting a C6 as my first Vette, but decided to wait because I knew the C7 was around the corner.  I was literally checking google almost daily for spy photos, new renderings, etc. for over a year before the C7 was revealed.  I decided that I would buy it well before the reveal, regardless of how it looked.  Never test drove one either or even sat in any Corvette of any year.  That passion has made me attached towards pretty much all Chevies and GM's.  A few people have posted what their garage would be if money was no object, honestly mine would still be a Corvette (okay a Z06 instead of a Stingray lol) and a loaded Silverado for the winter.

Which LS3 did you get?

if money is no object, I'd have the Gullwing Black series parked in my driveway....I'm cuckoo for coco puff over this beast.....I have not seen one in the street yet....maybe when I go down to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, I might get lucky and see one at a red light

we have similar tastes in luxury items for most part.

but I have to disagree!

the only Porsche I would currently own is a panamera.

douchey cars, I did race 911 turbo once in my old gto. I hate to say it but my 30k car but the fucking jammy to it reaaaal quick. Almost no contest.

the shriner in the 911 didnt recover
hm man not sure the new turbo does 0-60mph in 3seconds flat.

they are fast as hell as they come from the showroom, the 60mph to 120mph is about as fierce as a 600cc sportsbike.

i dont see a gto doing that without hefty mods, and not on streettires, the porsche is awd.

motor trend ran the quartermile with the turbo in 10.9seconds.this is crazy crazy quick.

this was back in like 2009.

the porshe might have been older.

my gto was a stock block ls2, long tubes, vararam and tune only. ran 12.6 at sea level on a cool day. also got just shy of 26 mpg

beautiful car...and the sound is the business.
I have this thing for the new Viper...an all Black T/A Viper. It just looks sinister and sexy at the same time.

Also a black Jag F-Type R Coupe. Granted, it doesn't perform as well as the Vette due to it's weight (like it was made from granite), but it aesthetically looks better, and it's engine note sounds a lot better.

What I really want to see is a comparison of the BMW M4 coupe versus a 2015 Ford Mustang GT (they benchmarked the e92 M3 coupe) or GT350. If that Ford puts up a good fight, or even comes out on top...man, American cars have truly made a comeback.
Also, I want to see what the Cadillac ATS-V does as well.
