LOL, for some reason that reminded me of that line in Forrest Gump:

"Sometimes there just aren't enough rocks"

 

[Insane3D]

The big six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo calipers just grab hold of the carbon discs, nearly 15 inches in diameter at both ends, and the speedometer numbers go down faster than a WorldCom profit projection.

ROTFL!

OUCH

Man, I can't even imagine how it must feel to bring that monster up to the 8200RPM :Q:Q redline, shift into the next gear, and just keep accelerating and accelerating......

I didn't like the styling of that car before, but I'm starting to like it . The thing that I noticed was this:

Its Fiorano record lap is in the one-minute, 25-second range, fully five seconds quicker than an F50, though nearly 30 seconds shy of a genuine F2002 F1 race car.

F1-racers are pretty fast, don't you think ?

EDIT: I would still rather have the Bugatti EB 16-4 Veyron

Have you seen Tiff Needle's video review of the McLaren F1?? It should be similar to that It's like a 10 minute long segment.

No...where is it? Sounds interesting..

Edit: Just did a Google search, and came up with a couple sites that had links to d/l the video, but non of them were functional..

Do some snooping around Zazaa or Morpheus, or do a search on Google/Yahoo. There used to be a site that had a whole slew of Tiff Needle/Top Gear movies, but I've forgotten the URL

Don't worry if you don't like the look of it, it will likely be no more than a faint blur and a whooshing sound as it flies by @ 210mph...hehe.

That car looks SWEET!! Much better than the F50.

The ugliest car ever is the Aztek

 

[EXman]

I'll take two

I thought cars sold in the US needed 5 MPH bumpers - I wonder how they will make that nose street-legal.

Aaah! To late! They're only making 350 of them and they are all spoken for.

Are you talking about that British car show that's always on BBC? If so, that show SUCKS. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS, how can you watch that crap?

 

[GTaudiophile]

I saw a yellow Ferrari "Enzo" while in Maranello, Italy this summer. Eventhough parts of it were still wrapped in clear plastic, it still looked pretty good in person. I should have those pics ready in a week or so.

Yes, Tiff rocks!

This reminds of a funny situation I had while visiting the Ferrari factory/HQ in Maranello. The front entrance to the factory is "guarded" by a couple of big Italian guys with no brains nor weapons of any sort. You can barely dash by the gate and snap a picture before they approach you and warn you that no pictures are allowed. They even have "no photography" posters around the entrance! What's with that? Anyway, I walked up to one of the guards and asked him where Luca di Montezemolo's office is, kinda pointing to the taller building on my right. The guard just laughed at me and said, "in heaven." I chuckled at that too. Everyone prays to the Prancing Horse in that area, and it's no surprise that Montezemolo is like a god to them.
