That is quite a sexy car, but I hope to do better. 
I must reiterate my earlier statement that I advise you to acquant yourself thoroughly of the car's form, as you will probably end up washing mine some day. 
On the Porsche website they have a similar thing with the Carrera GT (which I still believe to be the hotter car - I TOUCHED IT!) where you can watch it out on the track. It's pretty cool, kind of interactive in that you can pick out various camera angles and sound from the engine or exhaust. |

Mmm.. Top gear. I love that show.
Have you seen the epi for the Mclaren SLR? It's sexy. |

Thats a very nice car, well race car. Thats more of a track car. I dont belive its even produced for public... The interior wasnt so hot, it looked like the inside of an indy car... Ill show u the ultimate car. THE Bugatti. Mid engine, AWD, 2 pass, 2 door coupe.
Quad turbo, intercooled, Dual Over Head Cam, 64 valve W16. 
a 488 cubic inche motor pushing 1001 hp @6000 Rpm. and 922 lbs tourque at a very low 2200 rpm. This car is the fastest production car..ever. At a staggering 253 mph. 1/4 mile time of 10.8 @ 140mph , thats another broken record for production car. 0-60 in under 3 seconds. Thats scary. And its a pretty damn sexy car to boot. Look at the vid.
It only costs 1.2 million...

| Sources tell me the Bugatti, when fully accelerating, uses 1.4 gallons of (premium, duh) gas per minute. Thats just a monster of an engine. |

| The only sad part is that, i could build a motor to have 1000 hp, and go faster then the buggati and look almost just as sharp, for a whole lot less then 1.2 mil.. |

Car's like that are what make the Corvette look like a bargain. Handles like it's on rails, 0-60 under 4 seconds (in first gear, no less) and costs $50-70K depending on the model you buy. A bargain, compared to anything else in it's performance class... or higher, for that matter.
But if money were no object, here's what I would be driving:

And it doesn't even cost a million... just looks like it does. |

S7s, DB9s, all so amazing.
I am not a Corvette fan. At all. I would never buy one of those, I would much rather have a Boxster S or M3 if we are talking in that price range (50-60,000). |

| The Corvette is a lot fast then a boxster or an M3. You can get a 2002 zo6 in perfect condition for under 30,000. Ones with more miles can be found in the lower 20s. I like the M3 more then the Corvette but the Corvette is the faster car. |
