I saw that as well, although I saw it on a science channel.

Of the 5 supercars, don't forget the 300SL Gullwing from Mercedes at #3.

I thought it rather interesting that of the current top tier of "hypercars" (including the Enzo, C-GT, SLR, Zonda) only the C-GT made the cut of top 5 of all time. It's also interesting that the mighty McLaren F1 is still the king in most people's eyes, and that the F40 can still out-accelerate almost every single production car, at least to 60mph. That thing is LIGHT.

i believe it is on the science channel several more times over the next few days. my other find has been a show called fifth gear (which i believe is on speedvision). great program.
