I especially agree, because although the Porsche performance is well known, I can't get over the fact that they are all rather ugly looking to me. Hell, you can get a 2008 911 looking just like a 1963 901 if you order enough crap out of the J.C. Whitney catalog.



Yup, those Porsche designers are real creative, amazing what they have been able to do in 45 years...




Seems to me Ferrari has never gotten themselves stuck with a lack of fresh ideas...

The cars in the list are race cars just made for the street. The list should also have any street legal car. Like the M3, and I am sure several dozen other cars.
