Who do you think will win?

Competitors:

Alfa?

Is there a list of competitors somewhere? I didn't see one the other day. Without knowing the full list, I think the Z/28 and the 4C both have good chances. Then again, the 911 could just win it again. :)

CAcoalminer > Cherry_man1 09/19/2014 at 11:46

I would say that or the Z/28.

I'm disappointed they don't have a GT3, Speciale, or Huracan.

I hope 4C, but probably 911 or M4 because Motor Trend is always a bit predictable.

Last year it was 911, Corvette and F12 battling it out for top dog right? Like anyone didn't see that coming.

Jcarr > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:47

Probably couldn't get the Speciale or Lambo in time.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:47

I'm gonna guess the 4C

Seriously though I love Pobst. He's the best thing MT has going for them.

I updated the post with the competitors.

I agree with your choices.

CAcoalminer > Milky 09/19/2014 at 11:50

No, the 911, Corvette, F12 video was made because the Corvette and F12 weren't available for the competition and everyone wanted to see whether they would have beaten the 911.

CAcoalminer > Jcarr 09/19/2014 at 11:51

True. However, why not the GT3. I know there is a press car because R&T used it for their competition.

Brian Silvestro > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:52

I'm so happy a Cayman isn't in this, because I love the Alfa. It might have a chance now!

CAcoalminer > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 11:52

This is truly disturbing.

Milky > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:52

Ahh damn thats right. Still, I hope its the 4C.

Jcarr > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:52

Looks like to me (closest to farthest):

GTI

4C

Z/28

F-Type Coupe

911 Turbo

GTR Nismo

M3

i8

[can't identify]

FoST?

CAcoalminer > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 11:53

I agree. I love his on track commentary.

Haha. I hope so.

CAcoalminer > Milky 09/19/2014 at 11:54

I'd be happy for the 4C or Z/28.

FiST?

Jcarr > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 11:55

I agree, although I do like Lieberman and Lago. I think C&D is a much more entertaining read. I never have a problem breezing through it cover-to-cover. MT sometimes feels like a chore to read.

I think it's a FiST.

EDIT: it is a FoST :(

CAcoalminer > Jcarr 09/19/2014 at 11:56

Subaru Impreza STI. You can see it at 40 seconds into the video.

Brian Silvestro > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 11:57

I feel as if the Z/28 will win though. It's faster than any of the other cars around the track, and the only bad part about it is the weight, which isn't holding it back much.

Also, GO FIESTA WWOOOOHOOO

CAcoalminer > Sir_Stig: and toxic masculinity ruins the party again. 09/19/2014 at 11:57

Focus ST.

no Z/28?

EDIT: YEEESSSS!!!!!! Z/28 will destroy all!

Everyone knows the 911 is going to win yet again, don't fool yourself. I think the 'Vette and GT-R will give it a run for it's money though.

CAcoalminer > Brian Silvestro 09/19/2014 at 11:59

I agree. Also, they loved it in the 911 Turbo comparison.

It's a Focus ST. Sorry.

mcseanerson > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 12:00

Agreed. I love how he was laughing at how much he could gesture while driving a Camaro SS 1LE on track.

CAcoalminer > spanfucker retire bitch 09/19/2014 at 12:02

I don't think so. They like the Turbo because it's fast but have never raved about it's excitement inducing personality.

Where is the Corvette?

I don't get video at work. Is the 'Vette not there? That seems stupid. Nevermind then.

CAcoalminer > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 12:03

It looks like he will get to do the road portion also this time. Should be fun to watch.

Really? I have a hard time taking C&D seriously with their 10 best picks and what not like they have to kiss ass pretty hard to their advertising customers. Of the main three I am supremely happy with R&T's revival. Felt like a dream team with Sam Smith, Jason Camissa, Jack Baruth, Bob Lutz, and the 3 months Peter Egan was still around for. And then Egan left and I was sad. And then Automobile Magazine fired everyone. At least now that Dyer and Sherman have a home at C&D I am more motivated to try and read it.

This is the only view I could get, but totally a Fiesta:

mcseanerson > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 12:04

Yeah I feel like MT is doing the best job of getting video down out of the American mags. I like Lieberman and don't really care for Lagos.

CAcoalminer > spanfucker retire bitch 09/19/2014 at 12:06

Here are the competitors:

GTI

4C

Z/28

F-Type Coupe

911 Turbo

GTR Nismo

M3

i8

Subaru Impreza STI

FiST

If you're referring to the Z06, no one has driven it yet. That's why it isn't here.

Jcarr > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 12:06

I really should give R&T a try. I just like the kind of interesting things C&D covers as opposed to MT, which seems to waste a bunch of time on news that's old by the time it's printed. I think Alterman has done a decent job in trying to breathe some new life into it.

CAcoalminer > Brian Silvestro 09/19/2014 at 12:08

Nope.

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize the Fiesta ST came with 4 doors.

mcseanerson > Jcarr 09/19/2014 at 12:09

R&T has gotten pretty good and is covering more stuff like techniques and gear and just talking about cars in a general sort of way. Reminds me of 0-60 a little bit.

CAcoalminer > mcseanerson 09/19/2014 at 12:10

I agree.

Brian Silvestro > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 12:11

And they're Fiesta wheels too! I thought you were the God of oppo!

Yes, it is. See my conversation with Brian.

I have two predictions:

The GTI will place highly based on real-world value and practicality. Especially if it has the factory Performance Pack.

The Jag will rank last initially, but will be moved up at least three ranking places for looks and sound.

CAcoalminer > nermal 09/19/2014 at 12:20

I could definitely see this happening.

I say 4C, with the Z/28 pretty close. My choice would be Cayman GTS, but i'ts not competing.

This might be the most hilarious comment ever from you.

*leaves room quickly*

Jayhawk Jake > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 12:37

Z/28 unless they knock it for visibility and/or features.

1) Win Powerball or Mega Millions

2) Acquire all vehicles pictured

3) Live happy.

Cherry_man1 > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 13:22

I guess next year we will have to wait on the '15 Mustang GT and by then Hopefully the GT350 will be out.

CAcoalminer > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager 09/19/2014 at 14:39

This begs the question. Many sportscars or a few supercars?

CAcoalminer > Cherry_man1 09/19/2014 at 14:40

I'm looking forward to seeing how the GT350 will look and perform.

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 14:48

Can't watch the video right now

Here is my guess on performance:

GTR Nismo

911 Turbo

Z/28

M3

F-Type Coupe

i8

4C

STi

GTI

FiST

I could be totally wrong. Just my guesses...

CAcoalminer > Manuél Ferrari 09/19/2014 at 14:52

Looks good to me. Also, the video is just a preview for next week. Nothing special.

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 14:55

Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 15:00

I'd go for a combination of the two. If I won the lottery then my garage would mostly be

1) Nissan GT-R

2) Charger Hellcat

3) Alfa Romeo 4C

4) Porsche Cayman GTS

5) Cadillac LTS or whatever the flagship ends up being called.

6) Fiesta ST

7) Ram 2500 Power Wagon

8) DeLorean DMC-12

9) 2016 Miata

10) Lexus RC-F

Sounds good to me.

Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager > CAcoalminer 09/19/2014 at 15:25

It's a little bit of everything. I'd buy a trailer for the Ram so I could take a couple of cars at a time for the occasional track day.
