Out of the choices, I vote Carrera 4S or SLS Black.

There are only a few possibilities here:

Focus ST
Carrera 4S
Cayman S
Viper

I had the GT-R on the list temporarily, but let's face it, car mags don't like the GT-R, they always complain about it being too electronic and not having enough "emotion", whatever that means.

I don't *think* the Carrera 4S will win over the Cayman S, but as I type this, I'm second-guessing myself. The 911 is on a new platform; previously the Cayman was always considered better balanced, but the magazines are gaga over the 991 ... so, shoot, that's a toss-up.

Viper could win, so could the Focus, if they want to go for the bang-for-the-buck.

Okay, I'm gonna say Cayman... but having said that, now the C4s will win

Agreed, the Audi already beat the GTR on a recent test MT did. However I don't see the Cayman S getting beat by the 911.

Don't discount the black Series though, you weight watcher

Cayman S! BTW, is it suspicious at all that the M3 was left out? Is the M6 truly a better "drivers car" than the M3? I would beg to differ!


Other personal favorites:

Focus ST
BMW M6
Audi R8

(in that order)

They have a video on why they left out cars like that. It's simply because they are NOT available at the time of producing these videos. They want that current model year. Since there is no NEW 2013/2014 M3 (F30 bodystyle) or M4, they can't include it. The new Corvette could've also been a great addition.

Yeah, the new Corvette will have been a great addition to the list. GM did not provide it so we will see it next year hopefully

I wonder where the M3/4 will stick next year. My vote is R8 V10+ since there is no gt3 in here.

Good call on the SLS, my eyes sorta skipped over it as I saw the E63 wagon. The SLS is at least as likely to win as, say, the Viper.

Call me a party pooper, but don't you have to drive all these cars to vote?

And if the poll is what the magazine journo's pick? Well, you may as well toss all the options into the air and pick the one that lands furthest away. Would probably be a more accurate outcome.

Guys thanks for having Friday fun with this poll. Next week these guys will be positing daily vids of the cars they test with the announcement of the winner at the end of the week I presume. I will so another daily poll. Not sure what the poll will be about at this stage but will just come up with something

Good luck to you and your choice. I am now 90% leaning towards the black series.

Last year they said the GTR was too rough, I doubt the Track edition will improve that. Cayman all day, such a great car

I'm dying to see the results of the drag race as many on m3 post argued the M6 was quicker than a 458 and GT-R from a standing start based on Gustav's videos and a few uploaded on Youtube.

My money's on the SLS for the overall win, followed by both Porsches.
