No Supra?

Hmm no Shelby or RS Cosworth.

....that's only according to a few car "experts". i was expecting the E30 M3 to be there too.

No 2nd gen MR2 like the MR2 Turbo mini-Ferrari lookalike?

Hehe... I wish I'd been able to drive a Countach. I've had some seat time in a Corvette, though... sit... turn engine on... blip throttle (brooooom!) and... turn engine off...

But the Countach and the Miura, two of Lambo's classics, were legendarily hard to drive. The Countach was too wide, too low, and you had absolutely no way of seeing where you were going... and it had gear like a truck.

The Miura, on the other hand, had a carburator that would choke at every stoplight, and a battery too small to restart the car more than a few times before giving up the ghost.

The "experts" included the Countach because of the sentimental value, and because of its image. It's also image that made them rate the Miata at number two. If this were a contest judged by experts purely on driving time alone, the Miata should have won, and the Countach would be nowhere to be seen.

Pero sa lahat ng contests regarding driving fun, it's always either Miata-Porsche or Porsche-Miata... the late 993 911 is on my "must-drive-before-I-die" or "must-die-driving" list.

i'd vote for the 911 as 1. it got the balance, power (although not much compared to Italian Thorougbreds) and handling. then the miata, because of the fun it could create. not much power though, but it will do the job you ask for.

Tama ba specs nito?

Anyway, what the Miata lacked was a pure performance version. Had they had let's say a 250 hp model, much like an S2000 competitor, it would have challenged for 1st place.

The Porsche 911, on the other hand, deserved the top spot I think. It turns 42 this year, and all those years, Porsche spent perfecting it. It's got speed and handling for track days, while giving comfort, fun and driver-friendliness for daily driving.

But on this list, I would have included the E30 M3, with one of the best steering systems in the world, the well-rounded Ferrari F40 supercar, and the performance-for-less Lancer Evolution Series.

kaya galit na galit sila sa mga japanese because japanese cars are supposed to be no-nonsense, trouble-free, reliable and boring appliances. if they became fun, fast and devastatingly beautiful, what edge would the americans and europeans have? which is practically happening today. guess what the no. 1 motorcycle accrdg to discovery channel is? =)
