A recent test by one of the car magazines had the Bugatti beaten by a tuner Viper to 200 mph.

hahaha, I'm a diehard Ferrari fan at heart. I just have a really big soft spot for the Zonda.

And if I ever have Zonda at my house, dont you worry it will be parked behind all the Ferrari's

1. McLaren F1
2. Porsche Carrera GT

Don't care about or want the rest.

Thanks for the link blue8. Pretty lightweight reporting though. I wonder if they really drove the cars or regurgitated the stats.

Great article about my ultimate dream car. F1 FTW!

This is hard, but the Enzo and the Carrera GT doesn't really bring anything new to the table. (Except Ferrari's ugly "new" F1 inspired design) I mean, we knew they could make cars like these already before they made them.

The Pagani seems more like a big handbag in this group. Good, but still over stitched and over ornamented.

F1. Sure, it was the fastest car at one point, but it failed in that no one really caught on to Gordon Murray's packaging solutions, which surely was the point of the car for him.

CCX. Is too obscure. I like it, but still, the best supercar? Maybe not.

Veyron. No compromise with that one, except in weight... and price.

I can't choose.

If it were up to me, I'd want
1 CCX
2 Veyron (in Bugatti Blue)
3 F1
4 Carrera GT (in anything but silver)
5 Zonda F
6 Enzo

But I can't say that CCX is the best super car. It probably isn't.

Macca F1 for sure - Its still that much more impressive than all the others

Zonda F in second tied with Veyron (only reason Veyron gets it is because of its engineering)

CCX in third I guess - i dont like it like crazy but its definately a SUPERCAR above others.

It's the Zonda for me and for the right reasons. The Zonda is the only supercar that is art in motion on top of its great engineering, sound and pure beauty. The Enzo, CCX, Macca are function first which takes away from them. Ferrari admitted they could have made it look better and they came up with the MC12 which still does not look that good. The Zonda is the perfect mix of function and beauty, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I find the Zonda to be pure beauty in motion. The interior unique and almost concept-car like, and then the glass roof tops it off. Supercars should not be so steered towards function, and Pagani gives that option with a Club Sport if thats what you're looking for.

What the hell was I smoking this day: Maybe i was going off the definition of a supercar (uncompromised).

Screw that: The best supercars are.

Macca F1
Zonda F
CGT

Didnt change much -

[pagani]

2 porsche cgt
3 pagani zonda

I pick the Enzo. The whole package is just near-perfect.
