The Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9, with added kudos for engine sound, engine size, and late-70s awesomeness in general.

the best car ever to me is custom, a factory will never be capable of producing a car wich in my opinion will be the best, since they're allways out for money and production phase is allways rushed. further it's gotta be a car made for driving very FAST, you don't need it to take you to the mall or to an appointment. so you don't care if a box of beer doesn't fit in the trunk, you don't need all the luxury like sound deandening, passenger seats to take your girlfriend along or any other item that can be considered luxury (synonim for unnescasary weight :lol: ). all you need is a shitload of horsepower, rear or 4wheel drive, a seat and steering wheel that make you actually feel like a bolted on part of the car, and a undercarriege that can make full control in the most highspeed bends possible and let's you feel every single move of the car perfectly.

i believe Felix Pailer is the man that has quite well succeeded in that part with his 520hp hillclimb Lancia Delta Integrale,

i just want to put a ALS system on my car too after hearing all that violence! too bad that the turbo doesn't like it all that much, i need sponsors first, money doesn't grow on my back :lol:

incar movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7_l0h_18pY

on second place, with it's fantastic bodywork and NA indy racing V8 (up to 11000rpm), F1 6spd gearbox etc. it's gotta be the Team-Edlinger BMW

that screaming v8 sound woooooow! :D

third place gotta be a jap, since i've allways admired the japanese engineering skills when it comes to engines. a twinturbo 2JZ equipped toyota supra mk4 is a dreamcar for me, boosted up to a minimal of 800hp

this one for example:

i can go on like this for hours but will never be able to choose one car though :oops:

Very good choices from all this far, so here are few of mine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBJ_8xGG5JE Don't you just love that sound of big turbo?

But what to choose if there would be only one option, that is damn hard. Probably C3, it is cheapest to run and maintain probably, but yet has awesome looks, even GTO is best looking car ever made and GTV6 is not far behind, I can't choose, need them all :lol:
