Coolest cars of 08, part 1

Fortune's Sue Callaway picks the fastest, best performing and good looking sports cars and takes them to the track.

Hi, I am Sue Callaway, car columnist of Fortune Magazine. And I am here the Las Vegas motor’s field way to test the coolest cars of 08.

Wow, Lamborghini knows not only how to feel the joy ride, this is a thrill ride, this is a most engaging brutal, drawn, crazy car out here. So many cars coming up today, even with the super cars are building in so many small electronics that control your traction in your brake balance, well this doesn’t have all that junk on it, this is a pure Italian monster.

Porsche has been evolving and refining the 911 Turbo for decades. You might think that make it ubiquitous, he did see lot of them on the roads. But I’ve got to tell you, of all the cars here today, this is the most capable and easiest to drive of all of them. Stand out to the rest of the competition, but only you as a driver look amazing. This is the incredible car that gold standard of sports cars.

I had to sit down for this one, I never through I’d see it, but I am glad to finally, an American super car that is worthy of its competition. The Corvette ZR1 is incredibly competent, incredibly powerful machine. Trashing control on, it’s balanced, it’s powerful, it / to do anything stupid. Trashing control off, you can slide this car around for days unlike an all-wheel drive car like the 911 Turbo. Bravo, GM, this wins the final reward.

But here’s a strange problem I ran into today, the Nissan GT-R is so competent, I really wasn’t aware of the performance level I was getting. Sure I felt the tiers’ squealing and you know, it’s hitting the gas as hard as I could on the street way, but it felt like kind of a daily drive until I look down and realize that hitting higher numbers than any other cars so far today. In fact, for 70,000 dollars, the cheapest car in the line up. You are getting performance that battles the 911 Turbo, the Lamborghini Gallardo, all the other all wheel drive competition out there. Are there a few niggles, its second gear too short, but I change the shape of paddle shipped. Yeah, maybe, but, come on, this is an insanely good deal and an insanely competent.
