Batman's Tumbler grabbed an early lockout, taking 100% of day-one votes, but Bond's Aston Martin DB5 flipped the race by day 2. Neither held long: by day 3 the Ferrari GT250 from Ferris Bueller's Day Off roared past both and led every single day for the next 19 days straight.

The Ferrari's margin shrank steadily from a 50% blowout to just 22% at the finish, with the Blues Brothers' Dodge Monaco and the Tumbler both mounting late runner-up pushes. In the end Christine's murderous Plymouth Fury out-polled everyone for the title, 23.5% to Ferrari's 19.3%, while Malaysia voted Ferrari and the US, Canada and Denmark all leaned Aston Martin.
