The Acura HSC gets my vote. Sure, it's basically an NSX with a restyled body but that thing is gorgeous. It could have a 0-60 time of 7 seconds and I'd still love to drive it.

As weird as it feels to pick a Cadillac, I do really like the Cien concept:

Although I'll also go oldskool, and mention the Corvette-based Pininfarina "Rondine" concept, which I'd love to own:

The Cien in the movie "The Island" was AWESOME. :p

Mine used to be the Cien, but the Mazda is just so right.

Just so you know, the GT90 handled horribly, based on the Top Gear episode. It was fast in a straight line, though!

For me, I'd go with the Prodrive P2. Relatively affordable, blazingly quick, handles like nothing else (in a good way), and proven drivetrain components.

For an exotic, I'd say the VW W12 or Chrysler ME Four-Twelve is right up there. The Mazda Furai is insane but not streetable.

I have been searching to no end to see the episode. I remember reading Motortrends review back in the day - it was truely a show car. The wastegates were left open to ensure the turbos didnt spool and melt the engine bay and nothing in the car was functional (A/C, electrics, etc). Also, I believe they were limited to 40MPH.

Obviously it was designed to sit on turn tables and "wow" people - and it sure had a lasting effect on me. Assuming it DID live up to its "credentials" - 720HP TT V12, etc - it would have been amazing - and that would include handling that would back up the other stats.

Maybe thats why I have blue wheels now? Hmmmmmm LOL.
