Well... I see a Ferrari 575 Maranello (my dad's) every day in our garage, but I would have to say that the coolest car us our 1971 McLaren race car. It has 800+ rwhp, and weighs roughly 2,300. We also have 2 competition Viper RT/10's and a Busch series race truck. But then again, I rode in my dad's friend's Enzo and that was pretty cool. If I go out there this week, I will post some pics. I have to powdercoat my calipers this weekend. If I get the chance, I will post some pics of the cars, look for them maybee Saturday.

almost every exotic car i see on the roads turns out to be my new favorite. seeing them out in the wild is something you just cant describe. the best for me is an emotional one. not only did i get to see a McLaren F1, but i also got a ride in it. if only i would have owned a digital camera back then.......

I want to be your friend too!!!!!

Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, believe it or not a RUF 911 TT. I was just drooling all over that one. Porsche, MBZ, BMW, etc are all a dime a dozen where I live. Ferrari has good stand out quotient. Even Bentley & Rolls hardly get a sideways look. Lambo's are nice.

Being in the automotive industry for 10 years I got to see and drive many cars. My most recent encounter was in Scottsdale AZ, which was a Carrera GT, But to name a few of other encounters and some i drove include , 2 enzo ferrari's, gt3, Murchialago r-gt, Saleen s7 and s7r, diablo gtr, f50, f40 and some old school testarossa,s and a countach 5000. What would i like to encounter Pagani Zonda, MClaren F1 GTR long tail, CLK GTR and my ultimate favorite i would take any day over the rest, the JDM 2003 Honda NSX Type R ( my poster on the wall car ).

I went to the Wooden Keels and Classic Wheels car show in Seabrook, Texas in the spring of 2001. There, they had some of prettiest classics, including some exotics, and of course, new Cadillacs (the show was co-sponsored by them that year). There, I saw a 2000 Series II Lotus Elise, with the RHD of course. I still think that's the most bitchin' exotic out today, besides the Series I Elise.

Well I've seen a fair share of exotic cars from the Attack kit car to a Diablo VT, but a lesser exotic that just takes my breath away every time I see one is the Lotus Esprit.

truemagellen 09-07-2004 10:33 PM

the RX-8...a lot more exotic then an italian car...our car was produced in a nuclear wasteland...that is exotic

Rob Tomlin 09-07-2004 11:27 PM

Porsche Carrera GT

mfreilly - Wow, that is one great link!!! Thanks a bundle! :)

WilliamT 09-08-2004 06:22 AM

We don't have many new models roaming our area...

Ferrari F40,
Shelby Series I,
Panoz Aiv Roadster,
Lamborghini Miura,
Lamborghini LM 002,

Here are some I've seen in a showroom for sale that are pretty rare.

Campagna T-Rex
Jaguar XJR-15
BMW M1

PetersonPeleRx8 09-08-2004 11:53 AM

What's a BMW M1?

and I completely forgot about that Campagna T-Rex thing.... anybody have any good pics or links to that thing?

WilliamT 09-08-2004 12:18 PM

Here are pics of the T-Rex

The Jaguar XJR-15 and BMW M1 is for sale there too.

I think the M1 was to be developed by Lamborghini for BMW. There were problems and BMW took over the entire project. About 400 were made total and I think it was out for only 1-2 years. The production cars were created to satisfy some racing requirement. Don't remember which though. I think it was the first BMW M series car.

Astor 09-08-2004 02:00 PM

I honestly think most Lambo's are really ugly. I like few Ferraris (although I like the style of the F430), I would prefer an old Cobra, or a Porsche Spyder like the one James Dean (which with only 90 made sort exotic) died in.
I would rather have a classic than exotic. The Cobra GT-R concept or whatever looks pretty cool. For some reason the '99 Skyline GTR would be one of my 1st choices if I were "cashed up".

Tirminyl 09-08-2004 02:10 PM

Ferrari F40-LM
Ferrari Dino
575's
360's
Testarosa (sp?)
more Ferrari's than anything else.


Thats it for me.

velociti 09-08-2004 07:52 PM

McLaren F1 and F1 LM. The LM had a 660+ hp V12 in 1996...it could also sprint to 60 in 3 seconds flat. That and the fact that there were only 5 of them (for the 5 LeMans finishers, 1 being the overall race winner the year before) makes it my favorite. Of ones that I've seen, Ferrari F50. Wicked car.

nosubstitutec4s 09-14-2004 09:26 PM

ive seen 2 enzo's, a shit load of 360's, some galardos, 2 murcilagos, more carreras than any where else in earth, 760's, all the benz amg's (55's and 65's) diablos, etc. thats long island for you.

Luftwaffle 09-15-2004 07:54 AM

I saw an Enzo driving really fast down the LIE around Main Street and there was one parked in front of a deli on Francis Lewis once. I also saw a Shelby Cobra on the way up to Rochester, but I couldn't tell if it was a kit car or not...
