Ha I wish! These things are like almost impossible to track down because there were only like a thousand made However, on the bright side - with price vs. performance it can be really hard to beat because it still kicks the crap out of a lot of most of the new cars coming out. Although you're never going to be able to get one brand new

Like I'd really love one so i can show all those kids rolling around in their Supras, Evos, WRXs, etc. like they are racers (2Fast2Furious ricer kinds ) - a real car

If you have the budget, and Aston Martin DB9 is leagues above both of those. Not as expensive as the Vanquish and pretty much as good in every department.
I don't think I've ever seen one of those irl. In what ways is it so much better? It's a little too expensive for me. It would have to be a whole crap of a lot better to even consider it.

Aston Martin - The Cars - DB9

V12, very nice inside and out and extremely good looking.

or you could go the DBS. Which is the slightly hotter version, and also James Bond's new car.

actually, as far as track cars go, ive seen honda civic hatchbacks easily surpass porches and what not. A honda engine built well to around 300-400 hp, in a 2300 lb car...hoooly shit youre gonna fly.

Luxury: 2007 335i BMW convertible

Supercar: 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider. Don't know why, but to my eyes the look of that car is about as perfect as a car can get.
Runabout: Only because we own it - 2008.5 Mazda 3

Convertible: Audi TT Roadster

Track - not interested no clue.

This thread is made of fails and losers. Cars are the biggest waste of money ever. I should know, I've been around cars all my life. Cars will steal your money away and never give it back. Your better off getting a Camry and just forgetting about cars in general.

Cars are status symbols. If you earn a high income and enjoy the high social status your car projects, then it serves its purpose.

The continental GT is meant to be a compromise, Ive never liked it though, its not just the styling which I think is ugly, it lacks any class or presence. Looks like a Chrysler Spitfire and having seen one or two of them around, it just doesnt really fit into any genre. Not good enough to be truly luxurious, not sporty enough to be a sports car.

Good shout on whoever said the F40LM as the racer, although good luck trying to push the limits in it!!

No shouts for the original McLaren F1?? Think someone may have mentioned it, the reason I didnt bother with it is that you apparently need to be a very talented professional racing driver to get the best from it, for mere mortals its just a terrifying experience!!
isn't there a curse on the Mclaren F1?


Btw I know jack shit about cars I am a purely looks man
