ZR-1 For me. Why? Crack open the 03-04 Terminator bottom end, it's the domestic 2JZ.

 

Hopefully it's the same for the ZR-1 Bottom end. GM's new model based engine management kicks ass. If they play their cards' right, it should really pack a punch when properly upgraded.

 

Its rumored that it will have the first MAF based system that will flow over 512/g sec, FINALLY. Thank you Allah.

I'd have to go with GT-R. I'm a sucker for Japanese styling, and it will do for supercars what the original NSX did in 1991: take on Ferrari and Porsche, at half the price.

 

BTW, that NSX concept is a few years old. I saw it at the auto show and it may photograph well, but it looks pretty plain in person. By contrast, the Honda HSC (from 2003) was a much nicer design that recalls the mid-engine layout of the current car:

Challenger: Too retro, 4100lbs (what a pig), Camaro will most likely get the LS3 = more HP than this thing too.

 

Camaro: Concept is still a little more retro than I'd like, but way better than the Challenger, most likely faster and cost less too. Should be pretty awesome.

 

GT-R: Ricey wing (fixable), looks too much like a 350Z. Interior looks nice from the pics, but I'd rather have a Z06 for the money.

 

FT-HS: The "Supra replacement" is a Hybrid. Sad. Toyota seems to want to stay on the bland path they have been on for years, counting on Lexus to sell anything remotely exciting.

 

R8-RS: pretty awesome, but that's way more expensive than everything else listed too......

 

ZR1: Pure sex. Must have one. Or 2.

If what they say actually comes true, the new AE86:

There's talk that it will have a 150hp high revving motor in a lightweight chassis UNDER 2300 lbs, OH and did I mention RWD? There's talk of it hitting the showroom end of 2008, but I'm still very, very skeptical since a lot of the specs are vague, but price is to be listed right around 16k too.

It looks like a Scion and a Celica. Selica or Cion?
