    A 1978 V12 Countach has similar acceleration as a 2005 V6 NSX. The Countach is significantly faster. Forced to pick only one of these as a supercar, which would you pick?

    My answer would be the NSX. The Countach was a dreadful car, in almost every respect except its engine. Too heavy, too wide, too fragile, awful handling, appalling interior. It did look spectacular, but only in it's first iteration. Every attempt at embellishment ruined it - like a push up bra for the Mona Lisa. In any real sense, the Countach was one of the slowest "supercars" on the road.
    Wanna start a poll? ;)
    A poll would reveal what we already know - everyone wants a Ferrari/Lamborghini/BMW because that is what they are told to want from an early age.

    Is the Ariel Atom a supercar? In its favour it is
    a) utterly impractical
    b) mind bendingly fast
    c) capable of out-performing pretty much anything on the road and track

    Against, however it
    a) costs less than €50000
    b) uses only proven mechanicals, so it's likely to be reliable and servicable
    c) doesn't have gull-wing doors. tsk tsk
    d) can do >40mpg.

    f50 brembo brakes overheating on a modena, holy crap i'm not buying one of those yokes..
    that murc is just awesome, power power power.. the oul boy has abit of a cavalier / kamakazi attitude towards cornering that NSX, everyone just allowed him past cause he's obviously funking menthol, which wins races everytime.. I think he blew the head gasket towards the end.. put him into the Lambo / GT2 and he'd have been dangerous.
