Top speed: 395+ km/h (242+ mph)
Standing quartermile: 9 seconds, end speed 235 km/h (146 mph)
Braking distance: 31 m (100–0 km/h)
Lateral g-force: 1.3 g
Fuel consumption: Highway travel: 13 l/100 km
Combined: 17 l/100 km

Engine:
Power output: 806 bhp at 6.900 rpm.
Maximum torque: 920 Nm (678 ftlb) at 5.700 rpm
Compressor boost pressure: max. 1.3 bar
Compressor displacement: 3.3 L/REV/1.165CFM/REV.

I have wanted a Ferrari GTO ever since I can remember. I think it is one of those timeless classics.




The other one I like, and I may actually be able to own someday, would be the Detomoso Pantera

Speaking of DeTomoso... the Mangusta is on of my favorite designs.. love the way the engine covers open..

but this is a pretty one too: The De Tomaso GuarÃ* barchetta


Notice the green Fiat spider in the background


Look! two spiders in the background now!

I'm keeping it plain and simple. Pretty much any Lamborghini. I love the Diablo but would settle for the Countach (sp?)

I also love the Rolls Royce Phantom (saw 2 at SEMA IAS in LA :-D) but Lamborghini is my first love

I like the Ferrari 308. 77-78, best, I think. I might actually be able to buy one too in a couple years to replace the tiburon. Gotta get the 4runner paid off first though.

Budgets suck!

I think this one is one of my favorite toy cars





some might think it's not so pretty, but it is certainly exotic.
