The Jag is no longer a Jag it,s a Ford and at last they've improved the disgusting electrics on them that's why you couldn't give the things away in the past I've tried to sort out wiring problems on them in years gone by. Total nightmare worst electrics I have ever come across on a motor.
best Jag the SS, prettiest the E type and I'll go for the Ford V8 as the greatest car engine ever made

Rover V8 is the best engine ever. Anything with a Rover V8 is a good car, because of the noise
VW flat 4? GRG, I thought you had taste. Air cooled engines...your joking?
Oh and by the way, has anyone else here stubled across www.sniffpetrol.com ? Its possibly the funniest site ive ever been on. I havent laughed so much at anything in ages...check out the archives too for older stuff.

Patriotism will only get you so far, and while TVRs are awesome, there is only one country that makes truly beautiful cars - Italy! 8)

The Birdcage is ugly as sin and a waste of a perfectly good and sexy MC12!
the birdcage wasnt designed by maserati, it was designed by pininfarina. It certainly doesnt look like a maserati. The mc12 is a slick car.
For the first time in a while i'm proud to say the us has topped a ferrari with the gt in terms of speed and performance vs their new f430, however i'd have to say the italians have most everyone else beat... brits have nice cars, certainly better than alot of stuff americans make. although they seem to have more of a high price range to work with- the new corvette has 400 hp so you know they have to be slacking somewhere to keep the cost low-ish and aston and tvr have more liberty in building more expensive car. There are some smaller american manufacturers that take on the world's best like saleen with their s7.
and yes, the gt40 is probably the greatest car ever made...

I'm aware of that (I'm a certified Grade A car nut ), but the MC12 serves as the basis for the ugly Birdcage, which was designed and built by Pininfarina, as you said...
D, the Porsche 962 is a better Le Mans-to-street supercar, in my opinion. 8)

Sure, but I'll kick your ass while I'm barelling down La Sarthe in fully leather-appointed and climate controlled interior with DVD navigation and 5.1 surround sound at 404kph (251.034mph), after accelerating to 100kmh (62.13712mph) in 2.6 seconds (not 2.8), followed by a drive to the docks to get back home, since the car is fully street legal...

Ah, I can dream... Someday...

In its day I quite liked the look of the Probe 16 but of course looks don't mean it can handle TVRs look good are unreliable and the arse end goes everywhere like the old Cobra. Mclaren F1 is on the lines of a GT40 really a road legal race car, but with better technology some of the US motors are pretty good to look at (except that revolting Crossfire) but have a tendancy to be let down by poor handling. Very good large bore lumps bit old fashioned (cast iron blocks on some and not even overhead bump sticks) but nevertheless well made.
