Best looking sports car
The "Biggest redo of a sports car" thread was getting sidetracked, so I thought I'd start this one. Best looking sportscar of the past twenty years or so. For me,
1. Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR 2. McLaren-BMW F1 GTR 3. Porsche 962 4. Porsche 911 GT1-98 5. BMW V12 LMR And before someone says it, I actually didn't find the Lancias that pretty. Thoughts, gentlemen? |

You know full well the answer to that MGF!
I can say entirely honestly that in terms of looks (i.e. the question in the thread), the Audi R8 would not feature in my top 20. In fact, the R8C would be on the list before the R8. |

Ayse seems to like cars that hide the pilot.
 Personally, I've always been partial to open-top cars, but that's what growing up with Group 7 will do to you. Off the top  , I'd say:1. Ferarri 333SP 2. BMW V12LMR 3. Porsche 956/962 4. Peugeot 905 5. MG EXG257 (Particularly in Knighthawk colours) This list is by no means definitive. It's more of a sample. |

Its a good list, Paul and if I were pressed to give an open-top list, the 333SP would be near the top, that's for sure.

True the open-top cars somehow don't have the appeal but I can put my finger on it
