Definitely F50 or Enzo!! Nothing compares to an F-car. Sure other cars can be faster, more expensive, but no other marque holds the F-heritage, tradition, or rampant prancing horse. Scuderia Ferrari!! | ||

This is my List at each price point. $200,000 Ferrari 360CS $300,000-$350,000 Ferrari F40 $400,000 S7 $700,000-$750,000 Ferrari F50 $1,000,000 Ferrari Enzo Some of you might think the S7 is a weak link in the list, but with the way that it is designed you could drive the piss out of the car and not have the shop bills that you would with a F-car.

for those of you who said F40 and McLaren F1, there is a video you should see. It downloads slow, but it is so worth it! this is a recent Top Gear, or is it 5th Gear now??, TV show episode. Tiff Needel is a great host. Much better than that jeremy clarkson. http://www.racingflix.com/getvideo.asp?v=452&p=6 i think you have to register, but it takes 2 seconds and it is so worth it for this vid, and the others at the site too. There are also other top gears featuring the F40, mclaren, and many more. | ||

Everyone here makes good points the McLaren is the practical car of the group I heard that it has the same amount of storage space as most sedans. In my opinion this useability would take some of the excitement out of driving it. I'll tell you when I have first hand experience. The Pagani seems so different from everything else that it would be one of my choices. The f40 is always nice to. By the way, How do you pronounce Pagani? Is it puh-jan-nee or pah-gan-nee? How do you say the G? Thanks, ED | ||

For owning: 1. Murcielago 2. (tie) F40, Diablo GT 4. Enzo 5. 360 6. Diablo 6.0 I have not driven an Gallardo so we'll see where it fits in but I have driven them all other than the Enzo and the Diablo GT. Other than the overly light feeling clutch, the Murcielago is absolutely incredible to drive. I don't think that it gets enough credit, especially on this board. BTW, you have really seen any of these cars until you see them on the road next to other cars. That's where the true beauty stands out. The Enzo and Murcielago shine especially brightly in that repect. | ||

Marcus, the McLaren F1 is practical. Plenty of storage space. Easy to drive, easy to park. Good ground clearance, comfortable ride on the street. Getting in and out is a bit tedious, and you can get mobbed by car nuts. But other than that, it is practical. | ||

I would say looking back the McLaren still stands out from those listed along to a lesser extent the F40. I think the Enzo ignoring its newness might be on par with these. But watching the Tiff on Top Gear in the Enzo review talk about the McLaren as the most "practical"...? What, because it comes with 3 seats? EH, probably the F40 would be all around the most fun. Who is going to enjoy an Enzo as much pushing those buttons to shift? | ||

Mclaren F1 has always been my ultimate car; though the F50 has always been a very close second. And though the Enzo might be better in many ways, those two still top my list. In fact, third on my list might be the non-super car the 360 CS, followed by the F40 and then the Enzo. The Pagani Zonda and then the Porsche Carrera GT would then follow. | ||

If you had a choice... Ferrari Enzo Porsche Carrera GT Mercedes SLR Bugatti Veyron 16/4 Koenigsegg CC Pagani Zonda or some of the older cars... McLaren F1 F40 F50 Jaguar XJ220 Bugatti EB110 MB CLK GTR Unfortunately, this is not a decision that I have to make YET. I was just wondering what some of your choices would be. Feel free to go off of the list. A few months ago I would have picked the Veyron but with the results that have been published lately, I would lean toward the Pagani. Maybe someday! ED Oh yeah, and if any on you have driven any of these cars and what to brag, I would love to hear about it. |
