    Best European Car

    I was thinking, everyone has got their favorite cars, but could anyone tell me what car is the best (performance, hp, ect.)
    I'm do not know much about cars, so I'll just ask the experts around here

    [Note: this isn't about your favorite car..]

    if you want list of fast cars here it is
    2004 Dodge Viper GTSR (0-60 in 2.2 seconds, top speed over 230)
    Bugatti Veyron(0-186 in 14 seconds, top speed 252mph!)
    Jaguar XJ220(0-60 in 3.8, top speed 220mph)
    Ferrari Enzo(my personal favorite, 0-60 in 3.14, and top speed is 220)

    Where did you get the 0-60 time ?
    This thing weighs a monstruous 2750lbs and even with 650bhp that's a huge hunk of metal to move.
    I suspect the time is either a lightened car or a drag special with soft rubber.
    Even as a custom racer, that acceleration figure isn't believable.

    ( it may be you've misread the 0-60KM/h time ?? It needs the 0-100km/h time to compare with 0-6mph )

    aha 'for sale'.
    That's some seriosu engine upgrade, but the laws of physics apply.
    Unles you fit big soft, fat tyres and soften them up on the drag strip that's the only way you'll get nearly 3 tons of car moving.
    It's either a 'calculation' - like they did when the first launched the car - or it's from a drag run which has nothing to do with the real world.

    Also it's not reasonable to include one-offs in best car lists.
    ANY car can be made faster, but you lose things to achieve it.

    The Ferrari Enzo

    The Enzo has amazing performance and I personally like how it looks but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    The best European car of all times?
    Would be a classic Ferrari for me, like the 250 GTO or something like that.
    If it has to be a new car I would say a Porsche GT3 or the Enzo.

    But it's an impossible choice to make...there are so many good cars

    Any classic Ferrari or Alfa. I love the Ferrari Daytona 1968 car with 185mph. And my dad was so close to buying one but fell short on $$$. Settle for a Dino

    Best European Car

    Tough choice, the best classic i'd say is a Ferrari 250 GTO or a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. As far a modern goes, i'd say the Ferrari Enzo or a Porsche Carrera Gt, but definitely NOT a McLaren (most people make a big deal about this car when its not that great).

    some of the venoms have over 1000hp, i don't really belive the figures either but vipers are pretty potent.
