kudos to the common man's sports car...the miata.

IMO, the 240Z should be up there too.

Disagree with the order... the Miata should be number one.

It's introduced more people to the racing scene than go-karts, and proves that fun does not require high power or high grip.

I'd have put the Porsche 911 in #2... as it's the ultimate sports car in terms of a rewarding drive, but not for everybody.

No NSX? The Countach doesn't deserve to be there (not a great car to drive...) but the NSX does.

Matindi pala ang Nissan Skyline. Governorless sya. They just hack the computer system and they can get an instant increase in horsepower without modification to the engine. Sabi, stock engine capable of giving up to 1000 hp without modification. Totoo kaya to ??? Tapos all system controlled and monitored by the computer of the engine.

How awkward it is to park this car in reverse too.

I saw the Discovery special where they got this ranking, and the automotive 'experts' they interviewed said that the Miata was an underpowered ladies' car. They wouldn't be caught dead driving one simply because it's a *gasp!* Japanese marque; their friends might never speak to them again (obvious bias for European makes).

It did say that that open-top speedsters such as the BMW Z4 owed their existence to the MX-5.

Kelan kaya ako makakamaneho ng Countach tulad ni niky at ni jeanpierre?

Or any car in that list?

ahaha nice one...

pero kung ako papipiliin ng #1, syempre porsche 911. racing history/reputation palang at yung traditional body sculpture/look legendary na. all other supercars are designed to be toys for millionaires while the porsche is a production car kumbaga ikaw na bahala mag tune or stock racing.

i've driven one myself pero mejo old school 80's na porsche.
