You need a honda/acura.
I have a Honda! LOL It's an '85 Honda Prelude.

hzl_eyed_girl - in order to be welcome in this thread you have to talk like you actually know how one of these cars drives.

(ignore the fact that 99.9% of ATOT'ers have never seen or touched one of these cars despite their "extensive" knowledge on the topic...)

;)

The Mclaren's are reallly interesting with all its hype and center seating. I'd like to try it out but it wouldn't be my dream car. The saleen S7 looks very promising also, not to mention damn nice ... :)

Back in high school I knew a guy that had an exotic auto repair joint. I went for a spin in a Countache, Viper and some kinda Aston Martin. Didn't get near the steering wheel though. :)

An Isuzu Rodeo sport...no really

Better gas mileage than your sports cars, and has a lot of interior area -> more fancy electronics can be put in it ;)

Of course it would be modded, but still...

LOL that is prolly true. BUT I here can claim that I have seen most of the cars listed here in person. I was not too impressed with the Mclaren I must say... It?s a race car, not a street car, the seat is terrible, but I?ve never sat in it so I can?t say.

The Bugatti... now most REAL car enthusiasts will tell ya that that?s about as close to perfection as it gets, whether they like it or not.

Ford/Chevy/Dodge make millions of cars a year
Porsche makes hundreds of thousands cars per year
Ferrari makes tens of thousands of cars per year
Lamborghini makes about one thousand cars per year
Bugatti makes about 30 cars per year...

TRUE STORY:

I remember 1991 Auto Show; I think it was Geneva or Frankfurt perhaps... The Ferrari team was showing off the F40, while the Bugatti just introduced the EB-110. Both cars looked spectacular, and had about the same price and performance (but really the Bugatti was a bit cheaper and faster). One of the reporters came up to the Bugatti CEO and asked how his car compared to the F-40. Everyone gathered around... Lots of news people, cameras, etc. The Bugatti Guy slowly opens the back hood (engine in the back) of the EB-110, takes out a cigarette and places it standing on top of the engine! Then he continues to open the door, climbs inside and starts the car... Revs once, revs again, revs once more to redline, about 8500 RPM, the engine is going crazy, lots of noise etc... The cigarette is still standing... The Bugatti guy climbs out, and boldly says to the reporter: "I want to see Enzo Ferrari do this on his car". The Ferrari guys just turned around embarrassed and never made any more claims that day.
