    Shocking, I'm not a porsche man at all and anyone with mild interest in cars would definetly say the F40, BUT, going deeper I say the 959 (just barely) over the F40, then the Countach.

    The 959 was way ahead of its time.

    The F40 was just a V8 with a light body attached.

    I love the Lancia, and the Countach was first presented in 1971, so it really should not be in here.

    the best description i've heard is JC's, "Its a go-kart, with a V8 at the back"
