I do dig that Noble though.
My girlfriend loves those, I really really like 'em, but I'm sure one nowadays in mint condition would rival the prices of some of the supercars...

Hmm... I wouldn't really want a supercar. If I picked one, I would probably get the Bugatti Veryon... That is a pretty nice car.

My real world dream car though... The RX-8. I've actually had dreams about it too. I want to get one so bad.

Yep, unfortunately. Saw a couple at the last Barrett auction go in the mid $200k's.

Lets' hear it for the Zonda, the world's ugliest supercar. Damn that thing looks brutal.

Um, it's more like 500k and it's not available in the US. Though I hear there are a couple here.

LOL I know my typeo

Yesterday, in Beijing Asia Games Village Auto Mall, a mysterrious business man with a Northeastern accent bought a silver Pagani Zonda C12S for 7 million RMB, or $864,000. That’s more than double the $350,000 price tag the super car normally carries, a result of the heafty tariff that the Chinese government places on privately imported exotics.

The Pagani Zonda is already one of most exclusive and rare super cars, and in China, that was the ONLY one in the entire country. With Baidu’s record setting break-out IPO performance last week, one couldn’t help but wonder if these 2 events are somehow related. hmmmmmmmmmmm……

Factory Five GTM.

Yes, it's technically a kit car, but it's not exactly a chopper-gunned bathtub slapped on a ladder frame like so many kits are. Rear-engined, tube-frame chassis, uses late-model Corvette suspension components + engine, and a Porsche transaxle. Yours for only about $20k, plus the cost of a donor car(s), plus a wee little bit of labor. Oh, and it weighs about 2200 pounds.

I want two of them actually. One will have a LS7 or perhaps a cheaper LS2 stroker, will be painted red, and will be reasonably civilized. The other one will be black, possibly stealthy satin black, and will have a turbo'd 3-rotor, with bare-bones racecar interior.

Wow, didn't think anyone would post a Noble. I actually really like this car too. If it wasn't a kit car it'd be nicer though. I definitely think the styling is better than the elise/exige though.

But since an Elise isn't totally unaffordable I still have my eye one them. I'm want to see what the new model year's bumper looks like on the Elise. I still keep telling myslef (and wife) that my next car will be an Elise.
