Must say its hard to choose but im going to have to say bugatti veyron for its sheer power
I think real car's should be listed, not imaginary ones because Bugatti can't get 1000hp nailed to the ground long enough for it to be useful. Mind you, they do say that they've only got two things to work out and then it will be available for sale, the steering and the brakes. Nothing major, only a minor thing: changing direction and stopping. Probably something to think about with a 1000 horses spewing out the exhaust.
For all those who've mentioned falcon or commodore's...they aren't sports cars, they're family car's with expensive body kits, thats about it.

So you're out of luck on that one.
I thought the heading was sports cars.
so far there have only been a couple of REAL sports cars, all the rest are either jap doof doof cars or powerful taxis.
Being fast dose not a sports car make.
I'm there with Mr279, there is a specific sports car category in which most of the australian muscle or the pacific rice burners mentioned don't fit into.
Look to european makers for the real sports car's of the world and where are the classics? Triumph Stag, Sunbeam Tiger or even the MGB?
For classic, old school sports cars the Austin Healey Sprite or 3000 is well up the top as well as my personal favourite of the Sunbeam Tiger.
For the current midlife crisis/showroom specials today, the Morgan Aero 8 is a thing of beauty, a BMW 4.6 V8 in a classicly styled modern sports car with super modern black OZ wheels look superb. Of course you can't overlook the stupendously expensive and exotic Pagani Zonda or even the Porsche Carrera GT, they do fit into the sports car category but reside primarily in the super car section as well.
For something a little cheaper there's always the Aerial Atom which has more power per ton than a Honda CBR600RR sports bike and can beat it around a track in most conditions. Not an easy thing to do. Anyone who uses the chassis as an exoskeleton on the car has my vote.
There's waaay too many to mention and just about all of them come from Europe/UK. Australian car's are too simple and made out of shabby plastic to be useful and American car's can't go around corners and made from worse plastic. Japanese car's are good but when the Japanese aren't buying cars from their own country anymore questions have to be asked.
My rant is now over.
