Dodge Challenger SRT 10 Concept.
Is it going to reach production? I didn't really follow the news regarding this car.

Viper ACR...just to give the ZR1(or is it ZR-1 lol) a run for its money

ZR1. ZR-1 was the old one.

GM said an hyphen doesn't suit its current naming patterns.

:confused:

Maybe jump means the ZR-1 of yore... Who knows?!

The V10 Challenger will not be made.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that any car other than the ZR1 and GT-R stand a chance for overall honours in this category? I may not be as sophisticated as some car reviewers, but I recognize that these are two very special cars and one of them probably deserves to win.

It's more or less a given.

And the Challenger SRT10 Concept is now ruled ineligible.

Why couldn't the Tesla Roadster be in here, its around or over 100K, they will be made in small numbers to keep them exclusive and it gets to 60 in 4 dead. I would say that sounds like a super car.

I didn't say it wasn't eligible, I simply 'criticized' Ferrer's efforts to find flaws in my work :p

I accept it if you want to nominate it.

The Tesla is neither a high-end car or a supercar....it's an electric kit car that has some zip..that is all IMO. It looks like a 15,000 kit car...if looks account for anything.

Personally I don't think the tesla should count. Maybe for best american car, but its not really a 'supercar', its a revolutionary car maybe, primarily for the transformation of the 'electric car' image. What makes it expensive is that its really still a new concept overall even if the car is production.

I'm going to have to thin a bit before giving a vote.

I agree. Best American mass-market if anything.

I guess I'll nominate the Panoz Esperante GTLM since nobody has. I've actually seen one driving around portland. Caught me by surprise. Probably was not a GTLM, probably a GT, but still a rare sight.

Nuremberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg)

Nürburgring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuerburgring)

there's a difference.

ZR1. never liked corvettes until this one, i think that counts for something

ZR1.
Though I don't hold a high opinion of it.

Ferrer

12-03-2008, 04:20 AM

Agreed.
The Viper ACR might give it a run for its money.

Bleeding Heart

Hmmm.. It's becoming a two-horse race between these two:

And why shouldn't it be a two horse race between those two? I suppose the CTS/CTS-V are the only other realistic choices.
