Lamborghini performance for less?

Yes it's quite possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0bUK6FuIrM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

ams + gtr or evo

If you like having your spine dislocated due to the punishingly hard suspension. I've been on buckboards with a more supple ride.

That holds true for 75% of the options presented here. You think an LS powered Miata is going to be more comfy than a GTR?

$50,000 will buy one all done and ready to go.

I met a guy at Limerock that has one and helps build these things (I think his name was Alan).

His car was AMAZING (looked identical to the picture above)

Then they aren't as good as they could be. Everything is a compromise.

Sure they are, you just adjust the suspension. The changes are pretty amazing.

I never said it was, I'm saying that a lot of the crap-flinging at Italian and British "supercars" is sour grapes. "Well the GT-R and ZR-1 are just as fast as the 458! It's a piece of crap!" 🙄 I'm saying, as a package, high-end Euro monsters are still of higher quality (and generally more attractive). They aren't a value, at all, but folks that are buying them aren't just shopping for raw horsepower, either.

:thumbsup: Would definitely be my choice, but since they are quite rare they still command a higher price.

So basically this post is exactly opposite of this thread's purpose. OP specifically asked about beating those cars in performance and performance alone. And that is mind numbing easy to accomplish. Nobody here has said a 1000 HP Civic is "nicer" than a Ferrari, just faster.

Nobody is saying they don't appreciate exotics or that they are crap, just that they aren't anything special in the performance department, esp for gear heads who modify their cars.

As a gear head, I don't see the appeal. Would I like a Ferrari? Sure. I'd still be pissed the first time a beater raped my face. But I've just never been obsessed to the point of spanking it every day over every car north of $100,000 like 99% of AT Garage.

Speaking of, I think we should rename AT Garage to AT Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche/Veyron honestly, because that's all many of the computer nerds with Kias on AT that come to Garage care about half the time anyway.

You guys are missing the point. Nothing will get a girls top off faster than a Lambo or a Ferrari. Not a tuned Mazda or a ariel atom 🙂

I guess if you're into girls instead of women.

Hey, you take that back, girls love a man in an Atom.

Uhhhhh. Yea, it does.. or what do you think it means?

If I go to a football game, I expect the average attendee to care a bit more about football than someone I meet in line at the grocery store. The same applies to car shows. It's a biased sampling.
