    Gotta give 'Murican engineering credit: the Vette gave a good fight to the Italian hypercar. Having grown up in a MK1 GTI, I can sympathize with the votes for that pure bred $hitbox. I consider it the spiritual ancestor to the R50. That having been said voting against the Singer is like underestimating a fart in white jeans: a mistake. If you need any convincing, please watch the world's greatest automotive bard wax poetic about Singer.

    Today is the final day to make it to the sweet 16! Your match-ups are:

    MINI GP1 vs. Toyota LFA (gulp)
    1993 Mazda RX7 vs. Lotus Exige 240
    Lancia Delta HF Integrale vs. Ferrari 250 GT
    Shelby GT500 KR vs. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko

    I like the R8. It just doesn't rate with the others.

    True Lancia is a Fiat (Fix It Again Tony) but so is a Ferrari. It's all about the passion. Some people think we're nuts for loving a British car.

    I don know. Back in the 80's when I worked on Fiats, Lancia and Alfas you just can't belive the crap other shops and people would do to their cars then blame it in the car. It was not uncommon for us to get cars that would run hot because of an air bubble. They would go to a service station and the morons would hot wire the fan. They thought it should run all the time. So a cheep fix now caust some money.
    Later the shop was sold and the owner went to work for a dealer that sold Maserati and several other brands. He asked me to come work there. They had had one Masereti mechanic that quit. It turns out he was putting silicone on rubber gaskets and tinghting the snot out of them. Every car leaked like a sieve. Everyone at the dealer was bad mouthing the cars because of this idiot! Once all this was undone they had very little problems.

    It is still a glorified VW and homely as a mud fence.

    Singer 911
    The Ferrari would sound so nice but for every day driving and track fun, the 911 has to get my vote.

    I found the same thing, nobody seemed to understand a closed cooling system.
    Allowed me to get a great deal on a R16 Renault.

    Didn't post that to start another political debate. Hope Nathan doesn't ban me from free world donuts for this. :D :donut1:
