Ford GT?
lots of instant torque, cool looking, sort of affordable (compared to something like a Lambo or Zonda), Ford Quality (
), semi rare, Qtr mile in low 11's at 130mph.

Make/Model: Ferrari F2007
Price: Don't know - ask Marlboro
Rate 1 to 10 (1 being lowest, 10 being highest)
Reliability: 8. It'll finish a couple races, but then requires a complete teardown. Blows up every once in a while, however.
Fit and finish: 9.
Daily Driveability: ZERO.
Track ability: TEN
Handling: TEN
Performance (Top speed, acceleration, braking, etc): TEN
Modifying ability: 5. It gets modified for every race just about, but is restricted by the FIA rules.
Fun factor: 10
Exterior design: 10. Those aero boys know what they're doing.
Interior design: 1. Barely has an interior.
Technology: 5. Would be a ten, except for those rules restrictions.
Comfort: 9. Has custom molded seats.
Value: Cannot be classified.
And a short paragraph or two for picking the car.
Jeez, what can I say? The Audi R10 is a very, very close second.

In the real world, I'd "settle" for a GT3, but don't have time to answer the questionnaire.

Wow, this is hard... I really can't choose, it woulda been easier if this were a dream car thread in which I'd say Koenisegg CCXR or McClaren F1, or a if you had $____ what would you get thread, but the ultimate car... I feel that every car is compromised in some way. If you got straightline speed, you're lacking handling, if you got both you lack practicality, if you got an exotic u lose driveability (honestly, would you drive a, hmm, 599 gtb to the local supermarket every week?). This is making my little brain hurt... I'll keep thinking though.

If you somehow get me a 599, I promise I'll drive it to the market every week.
