LOL - yeah, this doesn't seem like much of a contest to me. In all seriousness, who the hell would take a Cobra R or ZO6 (both great cars) over a McLaren? The rules of the poll are a little odd, but if we don't have to pay for maintenance, I'd take the McLaren over just about any other car ever built. If maintenance is factored in, things get a lot more complicated.

Where the hell are the McLaren-Mercedes SLR and the Carrera GT (maybe inlcude the Koeniggsegg and Zonda while you're at it?). I'd take the Carrera GT if I can pick it, otherwise it'd be a tough decision between the Enzo and the McLaren.

Of the cars listed, it's the GT2, but the 911 GT3 would easily top that. The GT3 is a more visceral experience.

Why whould the GT3 top the GT2?

GT2 (rear engine rear drive):
477hp at 5700 rpm
472lb-ft torque at 3500-4500 rpm
3131 lbs Curb Weight

GT3 (rear engine rear drive):
380hp at 7400 rpm
285lb-ft torque at 5000 rpm
3043 lbs Curb Weight

People may argue the GT3 over Turbo because of the AWD vs RWD. But the GT2 is basically a GT3 with a Turbo engine in higher tune. There's less than 100lbs difference between the two (and even the wheel/tire widths only change to reflect that), the GT2 makes gobs more power and at a lower RPM, giving the car's acceleration a much more immediate feel.

I'm not sure I understand.
