Lotus Exige for me. I love small, lightweight and exotic looking cars. The MR2 would be perfect for my taste if it were lighter.

Yeah. I maxed out the poll options. I wanted to have a lot more - Dodge being one of them.

If money was no object, I'd have hundreds of cars to choose from each morning. I'd imagine some of my top picks would be:

Lotus Exige
Pagani Zonda F
Koenigsegg CCX
TVR Tuscan
TVR Cerbera Speed 12
TVR Sagaris
Ariel Atom
Ultima GT-R

Koeniggsegg CCXR for me.

1020 horses and 780 ft-lbs. of torque on E85/ E100? Out of a twin turbo V8? Hells yes.

0-60 mph in less thann 3 seconds? Hells yes.

Hundreds of pounds of downforce? If I remember correctly, it's something like 700 or 800 pounds of downforce at like 150 mph.

And If I remember something else correctly too, it barely weighs over 2000 pounds.

That would be the car I would drive.

Unfotunately, it costs like 2 million bucks.
