DGSoTW 66: 00's supercars/road-going racecars [VOTING OPEN]

I love Millis debates :lol:

No, you see Diablo, the supercar thing is more than just throw hp in a car

Yeah I do know that, and what I was actually doing was pointing out that the car in Nikki's pic was not a regular Cayman. Also a RUF is a RUF, a RUF tuned Porsche is still a Porsche but RUF tuned, there's a difference.

[The Compensator]

The title is clear. Why enter this with a spiced up 911 or a Cayman. Also, Diablo & Wikipedia say that 00's means years from 2000 to 2009 - therefore the RUF RGT-8 does not fit the set theme as it was introduced in 2010 if I recall correctly.

[Eudemon]

It's easy to interpret themes in your own way and if you didn't know the production years (and honestly who does without looking it up?) it is very easy to post something, plus when you have staff posting grey area type entries it doesn't help. *not pointing any elbows RYZZA*

Autocar B-Road Challenge organiser Matt Saunders said:

"The UK car enthusiast is a lucky man or woman - there are so many reputed driver’s cars on the market today and we’ve also got some great driving roads. Our aim was to find the ultimate car for the great British B-road."

 

"The Porsche Cayman S is a worthy winner from a very competitive collection of cars because it covers all the bases, and covers them well," continued Matt. "It can be a supercar as well as being a competent everyday car - and that’s hugely important. In addition, the styling is spot-on and will look the part for many years to come."

 

Oh wait its a RUF :phil2:

:fp: Quoting some randomer off of the internet always makes every point solid, thx. I'm highly surprised an autocar person managed to give an opinion without something to do with Jaguar or Land rover coming up randomly

 

I think the best thing to do here is to let the person who picked the themes make their decision, Tim/Santtu?

[Nikki]

I am cool with not beeing included. Just saying that the definition of supercars doesent strictly apply to a small group of specific cars...

 

I d consider my RUF a performance car but it could also be a Road-going race car. Not sure if there was a 3400K race car but there was a Cayman race car if I remember correct.

 

Its as Diablo described it. A grey zone.

[Eudemon]

Just to be clear I don't class the Cayman or 3400 K as a supercar either. I'm of the older 'proper' supercar definition than what the F&F generation seem to attribute it to. :wise:

[superhyper]

I'll let Tim decide this one as I think it was entered with his theme in mind, imo the RUF is more like a sports car on steroids.

 

And just to be clear about my theme, road-going racecars mean cars that are as crazy as road-legal cars can be, not just cars that have an existing race variation. Toyota will be entering WRC with a Yaris in 2017, still wouldn't count a stock Yaris as a "road-going racecar" :nods:

By road going race car he means those cars that had to be released for streets to fill a rule, where race cars had to have x numbers of street cars.

Example:

Delta S4

Ford RS200

911 GT1 and so on.

 

If you don't know if your car is such thing, just make a little research on wikipedia.

 

Edit:

I love Millis debates :lol:

 

:hmmm: I wonder why...

[Ryzza5]

That's homologation.

 

I would also count an edition of a supercar that's been designed more explicitly for track use, but is still road legal.

[Pator5]

Maserati MC12 ...

Yes, thanks. Sometimes i don't say things in a simple way. :lol:

[T1M]

It'd say it's a sports car really, at the end of the day it's only a Cayman basically, sorry.

[T1M]

Poll time? :hmmm:

[CarMadMike]

Poll time? :hmmm:

 

23:02???

 

Yah I think it is poll time.

[Milli]

In Ryan's world it is.
