Re: Autocar BBDC

This definitely makes much more sense... Now compare this to the EVO list and suddenly, things look very weird.

Re: Autocar BBDC

Wooo what do you know, some crappy 911 got first place because it has a manual transmission.

Re: Autocar BBDC

Hardly. There have been manual 911 GT3 cars for ages. This one is a strokefest because it doesn't have a wing.

As always, the best drivers car is the one whose keys people reach for. Offer up the keys to everyone and tell them they get to keep the car for free for 2 years and see which they reach for. Guaranteed the 911 keys stick around a lot longer than a 675LT Spider or 488.

Re: Autocar BBDC

Well...the GT3 made it to the top lists basically all the time, so... yes

Considering the price tag, performance, appeal and technology, the Ferrari 488 probably deserves the title best driver's car this year.

The 911 R won because it is a limited edition car and car journalists were crazy about it.

Re: Autocar BBDC

BMW needs to step up their game. The M4 GTS performance isn't that impressive in every test out there.

NSX slower than a Cayman

Took them so long to make that car and it came out with a bland design and underperforming in every test even though it has alot of tech. The nearly 1900kg doesn't help

I actually find this result to be rather insulting. NSX used to be an icon in Japan for the longest time. This track result is really sad and hard to swallow. Smiley

Re: Autocar BBDC

Most impressive (from a performance/price point of view) is actually the 718 Cayman S in my opinion.

Re: Autocar BBDC

Though it's only impressive in this limited line up.

What's a 718 s cost? $80-90k after options?

Surely, impressive in a lineup of cars which should all be impressive is still impressive?
