What is your favourite GT1 Car? (Current day GT1 Regulations)

SALEEN S7R · 15 Apr 2005, 00:38 (Ref:1278451)

Personally for me it is now the Maserati MC12. It used to be the Saleen S7R, but for me the MC12 is even better looking, and hopefully one day all the controversy surrounding the car will dissapear.

tblincoe · 15 Apr 2005, 02:40 (Ref:1278478)

went with the DBR-9... the sound of the AM V12 at Sebring was just intoxicating and the car is just magnificent to see in person

marcel82 · 15 Apr 2005, 02:53 (Ref:1278481)

I went with the AM too. it used to be the Saleen, but the AM is just one sharp looking car

CorvetteC6R · 15 Apr 2005, 02:55 (Ref:1278483)

It was a hard decision for me...

I thought it might have been.

That's a tough vote. I really appreciate both of the Prodrive cars, the DBR9 and 550M. However, my vote went to the Saleen S7R. This car still looks the part and has a great rumble to it. And Chris, in my opinion, it looks far better than the Maserati MC12. The Lambo also looks stunning as well and edges out the MC12 in appearance. Like I said, tough to choose!

**Dani Filth** · 15 Apr 2005, 06:13 (Ref:1278550)

Maserati MC12 . with full wing

brielga · 15 Apr 2005, 06:45 (Ref:1278571)

Sorry, 575... a non-rational vote

**Bentley03** · 15 Apr 2005, 06:49 (Ref:1278575)

DBR9 for me. It just looks so right, real presence. Can't wait for Silverstone!

Mal · 15 Apr 2005, 07:19 (Ref:1278594)

I voted for the Aston. I wanted to vote for the Maserati, but I couldnt bring myself to do it due to all the political wrangling surrounding the car. It is such a shame as it is a stunning looking car.

red bullet · 15 Apr 2005, 08:02 (Ref:1278626)

1) F 550
2) C C5r
3) Am Dbr9
4) M Mc12

Wout · 15 Apr 2005, 08:45 (Ref:1278663)

Lamborghini, for sure!

Ockside · 15 Apr 2005, 09:17 (Ref:1278695)

It would have to be the Lister Storm :-) (why isnt it on the list) but the Aston Martin's are looking very tasty, cant wait to see them at Silverstone.

I would have included the Lister Storm, but unfortunatly the poll options only give 10 choices as a maximum allowed, if I were to add the Lister there would have been no room for the "other" option, such as the Pagani Zonda or Marcos LM 600, im afraid one car had to be left off the list, and the Lister was it.

Yeah, right....

krt917 · 15 Apr 2005, 11:27 (Ref:1278812)

Well, it's a fantastic list of cars, isn't?! I've gone for the DBR9, partly because I do think it looks superb and partly because I'm so pleased to see Aston Martin in racing again. I wouldn't say no to any of the others though, especially the 550.

Tom V · 15 Apr 2005, 14:07 (Ref:1278900)

Difficult choice

I don't know about the Maserati, if it wasn't for that tiny rear wing it would be joined first with the Saleen. But now I just don't like it as much.

**PascaLM** · 15 Apr 2005, 15:38 (Ref:1279009)

I voted for the C5-R. I haven't seen and heard the Aston yet.
After : Saleen, F550, and the Porsche GT2 ADAC.

pirenzo · 15 Apr 2005, 15:47 (Ref:1279016)

C5-R does it for me. Sounds great, and has got typical American brute in its appearance.
Its not as striking perhaps as the Aston, or as sleek as the 550/575, but I like it.

Fab · 15 Apr 2005, 15:55 (Ref:1279023)

The Spyker is superb. Too bad it's not faster. I voted for the C5-R.

marcel82 · 15 Apr 2005, 16:11 (Ref:1279033)

I was wondering: why would anybody prefer the 550 over the 575 or vice versa? if you ignore performance, both cars are basically identical. (don't get me wrong, they're both great cars, that's one sexy ass they have

)

lj79 · 15 Apr 2005, 16:59 (Ref:1279068)

Lister Storm cos of its engine. Coventry V12 lives on.

I for one find the 575 a much better looking car than the F550. And there are some subtle differences between both machines. Small changes can give a car a whole different look.

Easy - the DBR9
