who cares lol........and coming from an american LOL your country is not one to talk when it comes to burning lots of fuel. but like most petrol heads, i dont care.... excess is good

only the itilians could craft an exhaust system like that. Mr pagani is soooo devoted to his cars its unreal. when fifth gear tested the Zonda F, Mr Pagani personally hand cleaned the car himself for them and the camera's.

this car is a piece of art. i saw one at MPH06 and its just breath taking. there were enzo's and carrera GT's all around, but the Zonda stood out the most

yeah

there were 2 Zonda's and 1 Zonda F at the motorshow i went to. the easiest way to tell is that the normal zonda has its wing mirrors on the A-pillars, and the F has them mounted on the wings above the wheels.

if you buy one, the popes cobbler also custom makes you some pope slippers/shoes

it was awesome, the earls court one did sound better i think (more exhibitors and the show actually featured an Enzo in the super car line up which it didnt at the NEC)

but it was still amazing. the actuall show they put on was well funny, though hamster was replaced with tiff needell from 5th gear. lots of banter, and jokes about hammond :D

gumball were there too, with some battle scarred exotics! and there was this wierd bently continental GT painted in a Matt finish gun metal colour with matching wheels.... with all the shiney cars around, this was very different. though the body guard guy was gettin pissed at everyone touching it. (felt cold to the touch even tho it was hot inside)

they had like 5 other halls to go into that featured classic cars and car clubs n stuff.... plenty to see for sure. ill be going again :thumbsup:

oh and in the supercar line up (part of the 75min show) the SLR dominated the rest.

they lined them up and had the drivers rev the engines, and the SLR's beasted the rest, even the koenigsegg CC8S and the Ford GT were just drowned out by that mighty 5.5l V8

Yeah I see what you mean about the wing mirrors. From what I can see there are a few slight changes in appearance.

It?s just the sound of that damn thing that gets me. Just imagine driving that around and flooring it to the red line, and listening to that exhaust tone *drool*. I?m not sure on the specs, but it sounds like it has a long rev range. I believe from what I can remember It uses a Mercedes engines, V12?

Well, one can only dream.

Ohh, and I LOVE the design on those alloy wheels.

Think I?ll get a few lines on the euro lotto this Friday. It?s a 120 million rollover ;)

yep

7.3 litre AMG built (mercedes tuning house) V12, it has 600+bhp in the zonda F and about 555 in the normal car.

the Zonda F also has a different exhaust design to the normal car, which is why its even more vocal

If that was happening on my street I'd be calling the cops and screaming "You kids get off my lawn!!!"

How annoying

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH7M2DR8-Fs

at 1:10 into the video is the best engine sound ever. Period.

Never been a a big fan of Dodge's, but I have to agree that that is a very nice sounding engine.

Same. That Hemi souds so much better than the Ferrari that it's not even funny.
