OK, if some rich dude walked up and offered you one of these 4 supercars, which one do you take and why? (He's paying your tax bill too, haha)

Ferrari California

For me it is clearly the 911 gt3. It is a supercar that looks great but dosen't look like a ridiculous "look at me I'm a clown" car. It has plenty of muscle and I believe the best handling of the 4. The California is a close 2nd.

None of the above. I'm a Vanquish fan, that's what I'd want.

911. It is THE sports car.

I love the Vanquish, it was the last one off the list. I didn't think that many folks would know what it is. It and the DB9 are 2 of my favorites. I'd actually put it just behind the 911 and right in front of the California. I only put the Lambo and the Zonda to see which type of supercar the masses like better the overstated or the realistic.

I was also going to make a case for the Nissan GT-R being on here, but I'm not sure it's a "Super-car" It is awesome though.

For those un aware:

Vanquish

i've ridden in a 911 gt. it was nice but give me the ferrari/lambo any day. a guy down the street from our company's owner has a 360 modena f1. it is flat out sick and like the cheapest ferrari.

the zonda is too cramped.

I saw a Red Lambo Murcielago here in the 'Burg a few weeks ago. It's beautiful but a bit too overstated for me.

The 360 Modena is amazing as well

Ive had a thing for Lamborghinis especially since I first saw one on an ALMS broadcast a few years ago so Id go for that.

It's the only show I HAVE to watch. Never miss it, and have seen nearly every one ever.
That episode is classic. Here is part 1:

Saw a Vanquish on the road the other day. I didn't even know they were available here.

As much as I love the 911, the Ferrari would be my choice ... even with the lousy Cali nameplate.

My business partner has had all 3...he has the Lambo now, I liked the 360 the most though...Although his 09 Lambo is pretty sick

One car I thout never got enough credit was the NSX

a guy who Owned a few nightclubs here had 2. I drove his white one but grinded the gears on it a few times it was a tight shift
