Crap! I had the Spyder version of this penciled in at my convertible. I guess I'll have to cross it off the list.

A very nice choice btw.

Nice pick with the Porsche. I never thought it looked that great, then I saw on in person in Munich. What a beauty. I have a $120 model of a yellow Carrera in my living room. Astonishing car.

I was just talking to someone else in this car draft the other day and was surprised that the Gallardo hasn't been taken yet...

You can't go wrong with the 911.

That is what I am loving/hating about this draft... there are so many great cars and it is hard to decide which one to choose knowing that you are going to miss out on a bunch of other ones you wanted.

Damn you all! Don't mind the 430 going as much since I already have the Enzo, but the NSX is a sweet asian car and the Carrera GT would've looked good next to the Enzo and Reventon in my garage.

I'm not married to the Carrera GT. If someone wants to make an offer it would be considered.

I see that we are off to a rip roaring start again today.

STeeLy looses points for using a picture of a car from The Fast and the Furious.
Especially with his team name..

I thought that the Estoque was a concept car? Can we put concepts into other categories?

That's a good question. Because the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is a track only car, but was picked in the exotic category. I thought exotics where street legal, but rare.

Estoque is a concept yes... but it's a concept Sedan

This is a tough one...

Do all cars OUTSIDE of concept have to be already produced and on the roads?

I would say the Lambo Estoque is pure Concept. It is a sedan sure, but it is still early in development, they don't know what kind of engine yet, etc.

I would say Concept as being a car either never produced, not yet produced, technical exercise. Usually the final car doesn't look like the concept. The Estoque will look close to that, but I am willing to bet the interior won't.

I didn't notice the chosen 911 was a track only car but the Estoque is listed as a concept car on wiki (infact it was on my short list for concept cars).

I was working under the assumption that all cars (other then the race car, movie and concept) had to be street legal production cars. Otherwise, why bother having those three categories. I wasn't real big on those three categories to begin with as I prefer street cars.

I would say that MattyC can get away with just picking the top street version of that generation of 911, but that the Estoque can only be a concept car.

I will wait a while to make my next pick until we can get concensus on this issue.

We shall wait and see then... If Estoque is only allowed to be concept (which at this point seems quite likely), I will re-pick...
