I think my '12 Felt F75X would be a Subaru Impreza WRX because of the color and function (rally car / cycocross). If it were a high-end carbon Felt FX it would be an WRX sti to me.
My '12 Fuji Altamira 2.0 (heavily upgraded) is a Nissan Nismo 370Z to me because of the Japanese origin, they're vehicles that's raced but not on a super-car level (GT / national), and I think they have some similar styling.
Neither are super-cars or super-bikes, but dam fast. If I had an Altamira Team Replica, it would be a Nissan GT-R.

Maybe the higher-end Scott Foils would be the Audi R8? Both are of central European design (Swedish & German), have many aerodynamic design features, almost cross the line of being short-stretch on the track timed racing (time trials & timed on track loops.)

I think Colnago would be a Ferrari because they're both Italian and are the name many immediately think of when high-end super vehicles are brought up. The two companies also work togeather: https://www.colnago.com/ferrari/
But the Ridley Noah and McLaren Venge would definitely still be some sort of super-cars! Perhaps the Ridley Noah is a Bugatti Veyron, and the McLaren Venge is a McLaren GT?

Time = Porsche. i'm faster on this bike than anything else. it's not a ferrari; their engineering isn't very good. not a lamborghini; too flashy. no, Time is a Porsche. good-looking without being in-your-face, fast as hell, and engineered like no other

Which of these would match which of these cars?
-Cannondale CAAD series
-Trek Madone series
-Specialized Tarmac series
with
-Ford Mustang
-Chevy Camaro
-Doge Charger
They're all from american manufacturers, have been around for awhile, have a bit of a following and respect, and are pretty pleasant to the eyes.
