    I'd say 8

    9 is for a Ferrari

    10 would be for a Maclaren F1 - before I turn 40


    Dreaming is free right?

    I took delivery of my car two days ago and the funny thing is that my wife asked the same question. Being a good husband I told her that I rate the car 9 out of 10 since 10 out of 10 is reserved for her . I am realy pleased with the car so far .

    You should be even more pleased with yourself for coming up with that answer spontaneously.

    Yeh, OK, as long as you don't say "Mercedes McLaren SLR". Unless you have already turned 70!

    The scale might be better if it asked people to rate their overall experience on a scale of 9.0 to 9.9

    Re: Eleven

    Considering its intended purpose as a combination ringmaster and grocery-getter, I'd say a 9 or 9.5. But, in terms of it being a thrill machine, a bit lower. There are more exciting cars out there. For the most part, though, they are too idiosyncratic or torturing to drive everyday. Ever ponder being stuck in a major downpour in a Super 7? Ever just want to gracefully exit an Elise out the eyesight of an adoring throng of car enthusiasts? Or ask oneself how to obtain a termite bond for a Morgan?

    Ditto SoCal, an extra 30 hp would of been perfect and then there was the "system fault" issue (not a big deal). Also auto dimming mirrors should be standard on a car of this caliber. "9"

    I vote 7 for the 997 and 8 for the 997S.
    9 is for the F430 and 10 would be for the perfect sports car.
