nice list, but why did the viper and the Diablo place so low?

[Homem de Gelo]

Maybe because people thought they shouldn't come before their "predecessors", the Cobra and the Countach.

[Boxster17]

Maybe it has to do with the fact that many people prefer the Diablo and the Viper because of their modern design (or more modern than some on the list)...I'm sure this is quite a good list, since they seem to be looking at all the classics, as well as todays moderns...

[believeadamn]

dude, are you paramental? i mean, come on you didnt put the enzo in first
you jackass good lord what the hell were you thinking

"Dude", this is not his list, merely a copy of the list from indiacar.com. The cars are not in the order I would have placed them in either, but having never driven 49 out of the 50 cars (I managed to catch a short "test drive" in an '84 Porsche 928 once), I would probably not be considered expert enough to impact this list.

I do not know what criteria was used in the ordering of the list, apparently, top speed, acceleration, exclusivity, impact on the design of future sportscars may have been part of the criteria, but was not the be all and end all.


.... and welcome to the UCP forums.

1. McLAREN F1 (1992)

Didn't the Mclaren F1 come out in 1993?

[Falcon500]

I personally think that list was missing quite abit and had some things on it that are midly debateable.... I think the 240Z should of been in it a fast car for its time an avid handeler and the best selling sports carof the 70s.

[Egg Nog]

Didn't the Mclaren F1 come out in 1993?

The 1993 model was first available in 1992. Keep in mind that car models are always a year ahead...

[mr bill]

Clearly, this list means nothing

Who would possilby place the Viper at such a location? Number 50? Bah!

[Matra et Alpine]

I think the 240Z should of been in .... the best selling sports carof the 70s.

oh no, another national influence ?????
The 240Z was not THAT best-selling WORLDWIDE.
About 115,000 units from 1970-73.
Then it would be the 260. Did you mean to include all the 2x0 Z-cars ?
As anther datapoint, there were over 350,000 MGBs buiilt.

[ShadowMoses]

Who would possilby place the Viper at such a location? Number 50? Bah!

Erm, Me? The Viper had no impact on future car design, and goes to show how much weight americans place on muscle over style, class, reliability, engineering superiority, status, design and comfort.

dude, are you paramental? i mean, come on you didnt put the enzo in first
you jackass good lord what the hell were you thinking

Im afraid i would have SERIOUS problems with the enzo being no.1.... , for me that spot will always be reserved for the McClaren F1, a car that has had some real impact on the industry, (Though I would have liked to see the audi quattro, the mother of all modern sports cars, be THERE at least)

[Spastik_Roach]

I really think that the Subaru Impreza WRX should be on the list. And what the hell is the Honda NSX doing up that high? I mean sure its a nice car but surely it can't be placed higher than a Diablo and a 959! Miura should be number one, becuase it was the first true supercar. That list is overall pretty crap.

[IL Duce]

HaHaa LOL!! I like the 205 t16 really really really really being in 14th place!!! It's just big fun!!!
Think the first 10 are ranked just as they should be
