Sorry but after the white 6666 customs rocket bunny, for me the one and only is the Touge Factory's Four Six Customs S13 Silvia.

Best from Germany!!

I really wanted to vote for the NFS RTR-X because it does so many things so well and it was truely a huge step forward for the muscle car industry in terms of setting new standards for build quality and overall performance. The reason I passed it up and voted for the Fatlace Skyline is becuase it is an extremely well built example of a perfect daily driver than any one enthusiast can enjoy no matter what the occasion is. The rarity factor also plays a huge role ;-)

I'm guessing the RT-R or the 86 will win...I voted Touge also, I've had a desktop from that feature since it was posted! Just a menacing looking car even sitting still.

I just have to put my faith into the GT-86, it's gonna be an interesting year for the tuners once it comes out.

Touge Factory S13 is an easy choice for me. Hands down will be inspiration for a lot of people for years to come. Especially now that they are the exclusive wholesalers for the kit!

Brad said:

It was so easy to vote in the other catagories, but now it's like, I have no idea... so I just went with the one car that I would absolutely love to drive and know I have no chance in hell to be able to, The Red Bull F1 RB7...

BigLips said:

My vote undoubtedly goes to the 86/FR-S. This car has received so much hype from the media, and the potential of the car and it's potential impact on the car culture is immense. We've already seen that the car can drift, we know the car was designed to be easily modified, and we've already seen that the car can drive like a true enthusiast vessel. It is obvious that this car was made for the driver, and as a driver I give it my vote.

Derrick said:

i'd vote for the 86 because its something that seems like has been missing from the modern market for a while. inexpensive, simple, fun & has good potential as well as flexibility for each owner to change how they want for whatever purpose.... & its rwd!

I had to vote for Beauman Jones' FAT57 Chevy truck. It's just ticking all the right boxes. Some of the other cars are awesome, but you just can't beat a 50's ride slammed to the ground.

hechtspeed said:

I picked the Fatlace Skyline, because out of the cars in this list, this is the car I'd want to own and drive every day.  The RTR-X is a close 2nd and Rockey Bunny 3rd.  I'm a street car kinda guy, so although the track only cars are awesome, I enjoy seeing a perfectly modded street car, especially a vintage one!

Jase said:

I love a rocket bunny kit.

Would've like to see Anthony "Scotty" Scott's sil80 rocket bunny in the drift car category that kit with the ps13 front is just unreal.

Out of the cars in the list, it has to be the Touge Customs 6666 S13.

This year was truly the year of Japanese classics, and I think Mark Arcenal's KGC10 is the definition of cool.  That gets my vote.

Touge Factory or Madbull? That's a tough choice. I can't believe I'm voting for a Nissan Silvia again, lol

M.Andrew said:

My favourite car is  the "Team Need for Speed RTR-X" . The reason is simple. I love the old muscle cars and I liked playing the Need for Speed Shift 2 and I drove this car often in the game! :D And I think this dark & green color combination looks great on this car!!!

December 27, 2011 5:31 PM [flag as inappropriate] Speedhunters

Danknasty86 said:

FR-S/86 has got to win this one, it's affordable, alot more affordable than the other cars on this poll, it's a car the entire car community has been holding their breath for (from a prduction point of view), it's a throwback to the greatest drift/touge and most influential retro that us Americans can get a hold of and the aftermarket for this art in motion will be phenomenal. That and I happen to have a Notchback in the drive way :)

JoeWash said:

If I could vote for Sunny's car 100 times I would. but I know either the RTR-X, the 86, or Mad Mike are probably the more popular choice. S30!

Mad Mike's 4rotor Redbull Mazda Rx-7. Car of the year!!!!!

December 27, 2011 8:35 PM [flag as inappropriate] Speedhunters

RzA14 said:

Mad Mike's MADBUL RX-7  just great set up to be a drift car....  Protruding from the hood are two large-sized air suction cavity which has a filter. Through it, the air will enter the Quad-rotor 26B engine. Also it  was trimmed the front and back of the car. "The body is cut Front-rear". After the main bracket mounted on the front, then the pair stayed an additional bracket to hold the open-close RX7 lights, oil cooler from Redline Performance, and patrol lights to stylish, the back is also trimmed and fitted with a bracket to hold the body. After that, the position of the gas tank reorganized. In this way, the car becomes lighter.

WOW!! I cannot believe what i have seen on this page just now. I truley thought that my fellow speedhunters fans would have had better taste in cars. It pains me to see the winners that have been selected. You should all be ashamed and I hereforth renounce my title as speedhunters fan. I shall continue to frequent this site and marvel at the cars that actually deserve my attention but if asked i will deny having the same taste in cars as you people.

This is a very hard poll to pick JUST one car from, and due to the veriaty of cars this mames makes it near impossible. But if i were to take a stab and make the choice it would, without doubt be the ft86 toyota.

I mkae this choice due to the fact that this will be tsunami of revolution in the tuning industrie.

RTR for sure. I think, it is the most impressive car here, cause... First of all - it is a muscle car.

And it is a great modified muscle car. A lot of work had been done. Great

Priit said:

maxwell, those wheels on the 2002 are some random DOTZ polished alloys in the front and 16" steelies rear. Also, it`s worth a mention that seeing the car in action is something on the wild side. Unbelievable driving by Taavi, and the car... well, you`ll just have to see for yourself. The boosted BMW six-banger will probably be swapped for a 2JZ this season, no V8 swaps here :). Also, the Wisefab guys have made some new drifting parts for BMW and seeing Taavi is one of their test drivers the 2002 will probably be sporting some new suspension goodies front and rear.
