Sportcar of the year 2005 - your choice?

Mr. Mercedes · 12-08-2005, 04:28 PM

Vote witheld! There is no S-class on the list.

Im going to bed now, I expect some great answers when I woke up tomorrow.

I think I'll go with the BMW M5. I know, very predictable to but hear me out. Not many car has generated such crazy reviews as the M5 did... every car magazine has praised its V10 powerplant. They put this car in comparison to the F430 for godsake. This car will surely become a classic and is the epithome of ///M Power.

My other considerations were the Corvette (definitely an underdog that has surpassed everyone's expectation) and the F430 (possibly one of the best Ferraris ever made)

But when I read the title of the thread, I thought you could pick anycar. If that was so, it would be the E90 330i. It was easily the most important model launch of the year for any manufacturer. This is hands down the car I most want for Christmas

M6 or Z06...

I guess Z06 then... took over the sports car world by storm, an dno one expected such performance.

M5/M6 we all knew was going ot kick ass, but Z06 was an awakening giant.

I think that the M5 is more appropriate because it was the car that started the Bmw's V10 hype. Besides, most magazines I've read said that as excellent as the M6, they'd rather get the M5 and save 20,000 pounds.

Hmm no S-Class, maybe because its not out around the world yet. I voted 997. M5 would be my second choice.

Zonda F..no doubt.. it has killed everything on the road.. and being a small manufacturer car makes it even more impressive..

Hey Just Me, do you think it would be a good idea if we made a "Car of the year" for different segments of the market? This seems to be sports car only.
We can even do a concept car of the year? I don't want to hijack your idea so that's why I asked.
