    1) The Neanderthals were here before us too.
    2) The Coxsackie virus disease is also very rare.
    3) The Spitfire is lighter than the Eurofighter.
    4) The souped up 348?

    PS: Yeah, I am feeling frisky and a bit tipsy also. :D

    No, I'm feeling neither frisky or tipsy.

    That the GTO is:

    First
    Rarest
    Lightest

    is indisputable FACT, unlike much of what is being discussed within this thread, and that's what I sought to point out, that's all.

    As Caeruleus11 pointed out:

    Most Beautiful

    is indeed subjective, which I graciously accepted.

    Back on topic, the OP asked us to rank the supercars, and you may do so any way you wish, whatever makes you happy.

    I countered the aforementioned arguments in a humourous way. You seem to take things way too seriously for such a lighthearted thread though.

    Your humor is lost on me as are some of your previous posts here (!) but all is good.

    I still remeber when my grandfather told me that the distance from a good humorist and an heavy balls breaker can be very low, sometimes.

    There also seems to be a fine line between a heated debate and an insult.

    No, what are you saying! mine is humor, exactly like your one. It's amazing how the same thing can appear different if seen with different eyes.

    I think the one thing that this thread has shown is that all the supercars are amazing. We just may disagree on the order of rank. My order changes all the time.

    Heated debate? Insult?

    You are beginning to imagine things....

    Maybe you need to sober up before the next post :)

    Disparaging other people's opinions and then​ playing innocent with the "humour" defence gets tiring quite quickly.

    For what it's worth, my vote would be
    1) 288
    2) LaF
    3) F40
    4) Enzo
    5) F50

    You may not appreciate the humour, but the core arguments stand. Because something came first or is lighter, doesn't necessarily mean that it is better.

    Exactly.

    Relax, nobody said anything was "better", I simply stated a few facts, namely that the 288 GTO is First, Rarest & Lightest, that's all.

    For me it's F50 because that's THE car that got me interested in cars. Saw a picture of it in a magazine and asked my dad "what is that?!" In astonishment. I was about 7. Your first is always special.

    Please enlighten us. What exactly is your definition of better?

    Objectively a car with better engineering numbers (not talking just about speed). Subjectively a car that does exactly what you want it to do, without hesitation or objection.

    So design/heritage/nostalgia/sound/feeling mean nothing to you? You'll love the electric car era we are about to enter then. They'll meet your criteria perfectly. Each model will be objectively better and do exactly what you ask of them, in fact they'll do it for your better than you could do yourself.

    Sound is also important (the 288 and the F40 fall way too short compared to their V12 successors); design though is totally subjective. Heritage is something to discuss at the Gents Club with a glass of fine sherry in one hand and the other stroking one's chin in a pretentious manner. Finally, feel is what I referred to, as in the car following your commands and doing exactly what you want it to do.

    Of course design is objective as is feel as is sound. Each person is entitled to their own interpretation of these things.

    Stock sound on 288, F40 and F50 are not great. But with minor modifications they all sound amazing.

    Exactly!

    Based on your definition of better, why on earth do you want an antiquated internal combustion engine? Surely an instant response electric would be right up you street.

    Doesn't sound like your own ideas are consistent.
