I'm actually half-serious here...
Make/Model: 1991 Volvo 240 sedan
Price: $3,000
Rate 1 to 10 (1 being lowest, 10 being highest)
Reliability: 4-9 depending on history
Fit and finish: 8 considering how old it is
Daily Driveability: 10 as long as a/c works
Track ability: 8 if you're referring to a dirt track
Handling: 2 (3.5 with a fresh set of 14" whitewalls)
Performance (Top speed, acceleration, braking, etc): 2 (it's a tank with a tractor motor turning the rear wheels, what's to expect?...it has good brakes, tho)
Modifying ability: 8 (Chevy motor swap ftw)
Fun factor: if you can have "fun" throwing things off hotel balconies, then this gets a solid 7
Exterior design: 2
Interior design: 7 (pretty roomy!)
Technology: 1 (maybe a 4 by 1991 standards)
Comfort: 8 (in the same way your favorite old pair of jeans is comfy)
Value: 10 (cheaper than most items in the Mugen catalog)

I have four:
1. Ferrari F430 coupe
2. Porsche 911 GT3
3. BMW M5
4. Upcoming Nissan GTR
You have everything here:
The Ferrari is a mid-engine, rwd, two-seater with a naturally aspirated V8 engine.
The Porsche is a rear-engine, rwd, two-seater with a naturally aspirated H6 engine.
The BMW is a front-engine, rwd, five-seater with 4 doors and a naturally aspirated V10 engine.
The Nissan is a front-engine, awd, four-seater with a twin turbocharged V6 engine.
What else do you want?

Hmm, I think right now it would be a Gallardo Spyder:
Reliability: 7 decent
Fit and finish: 10 top shelf
Daily Driveability: 8 I could do it
Track ability: 10 are you kidding?
Handling: 10 again, do I have to ask?
Performance 9 (Top speed, acceleration, braking, etc): This car can outrun a radio
Modifying ability: 2 low, but its already close to perfect
Fun factor: 10 off the charts - mr, awd, and topless!
Exterior design: 10 art on wheels
Interior design: 10 tight and cozy, butter to touch
Technology: 10 hi tech
Comfort: 7 the +1 will complain a lot
Value: 9 Its got awd - some snow tires and its a DD all year long!
Nothing is as great looking without a top as a Gallardo imo, and its more rare than a Ferrari, plus the sound... Definitely the best topless supercar.
