Ekona Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Nine places higher than the R35, oddly. Nowhere near 3rd place though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Not entirely sure what the point of that list is really...hope they didn't spend too much tears, blood and sweat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I used to love my Mini.... First car and all that. Surprised that it's number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 What's the point of any list? It's just a cross-section view of the cars that petrolheads think are awesome, and it was quite a PITA for the guy to put together (check the original thread on PH for more).

ATTAK Z Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Best car for enjoyment value I've owned/used (company cars) by far was the 350 Z closely followed by the Alfa 156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Why have they listed all 3 together? R32 is the lightest & smallest of the 3, R34 is the best looking, most advanced and just all round awesome and the 33 is just meh No 350Z in the list though?

But then it makes a mockery of the list. The 911 range is huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you the fact the combos are fast when empty. My current van, the vw transporter 2.8td facelift is appallingly slow. Wish I still had the vivaro tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the combo the small one or is that a combi?

rodgeevans Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 There are some serious muppets putting together those lists. Here's my top 10 for ya: 5. Plymouth Hemi Cuda My step dad had the only rag top hemi to come to the uk think only 2 came to europe he sold it for pitance when the market fell out then got a call last year when someone had just brought it and was checking out its history and the guy paid 60,000 for it his last muscle car was a 440 cuda with the 6 pack and drag cut box on it. He's a muscle car entusiast and won many a shows with his cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ummm, Sasha, that appears to be a list of the best Hypercars ever, and youve missed out the Veyron, F40 and AC Cobra. This is why lists like this are pretty pointless (although nice to see the Integrale made it in ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why lists like this are pretty pointless (although nice to see the Integrale made it in ) Don't care about what it's a list of. For me, it's the list that gets purchased when I either win a lottery or make it big with my new business On a side note, I am really not at all a fan of the Cobra, the F40 is a bit too similar to the Enzo and I much prefer the latter and while I appreciate the Veyron for the engineering, it would definitely not make my top 10 of all-time. Much for the same reason why the GTR wouldn't either - it's not all about the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a muscle car entusiast and won many a shows with his cars. Absolutely love them. I also have some bigtime admiration for the Americans reviving a number of these classics in a modern remake with the Challenger R/T, the new Shelby and the Camaro all out and a new GTO rumoured.

Ekona Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Don't care about what it's a list of. Well then why not include a cauliflower, a blue Biro and a tin of grease in it as well then? The guys on the original PH thread had to list why they picked a car as the greatest ever. Personally I love the Enzo but I wouldn't class it as an all-time great over something like the F40, despite never wanting to own the older car of the two. A list of lottery-win cars will be completely different to one of cars that are a defining moment in automotive history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 My god, just looking through that list and it looks like someone has just randomly dumped them together. Renault 5 Turbo is in 81st position? Is that the GT Turbo which was a supercar slayer and practically the quickest, best handling hot hatch out there for 15 years or is it the original rear wheel drive one? If its not the GT Turbo then that should certainly be well up in the list there. As for Mini being number one... well, I love mini`s, have had no end of them and rebuilt more than I can remember with my own 2 hands. I certainly wouldnt have put that as number one.

Ekona Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 But there's hardly an argument that the Mini was a far greater defining moment in car history than almost anything else on that list, that's the point of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Love the colour of that Sagaris!! Nice choice with the Diablo... Enzo no.1? You have to be a Ferrari fan, otherwise you wouldn't...which i would not.. Not sure what I'd have to replace it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
