The whole hybrid thing is quite silly; but from a design standpoint; Porsche seem to have a better grip on what looks good right now than McLaren, Mercedes, ... Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. etc.

I never understood why those are so popular. I really dont know, are the really fast or something??
Im not a Porsche guy at all. I dont even consider myself a Porsche owner, Im a CGT owner. The only other Porsche I like is the GT3 RS
I do know that car was illegal until Bill Gates spent what it would take to have an exemption made.....wish he liked Zondas too
how much are those worth anyways?

Why do people love it?
It was the CGT of it's time. A technological wonder. A 997 Turbo is more advanced, and faster than original 959's, but isn't as special. Not the heritage. A good "cheap" supercar to get would be XJ220's

ever sence Winkleman took over and castrated Lamborghini and focused on e gear shit, launch control. perminant AWD, confort packages,a nd body kits and panint jobs as new or special cars this has been more than evidant. They want the poser with too much money to spend looking to buy a name, not a car. Over half of Lambos are now owned by douchbags, tools, and posers. Pretty soon they will give ferrari a run for its money, goodness help us if they get any "racing heritage" too
Well, according to on track comparisons, the Gallardo has steadily been faster than the F430; especially the Superleggera. All the weight reduction is pretty obvious. IMHO, the "kits" are tasteful in the SL, particularly the fact metal has been replaced with carbon fiber.
AWD is an unfortunate reality on lambo's with no real alternative. However, more than a few people have removed the said front diffs. The AWD grips amazingly well in corners on exit. Perhaps it takes away from those with real finesse.
I agree that it is very unfortunate that sportscars are loosing "proper equipment" by ditching the perfect Man-Machine interface of a Clutch, and gated transmission.
Thankfully there are still cars like the FGT/ ZR1/CGT that make up for it. Still, an Enzo is still pretty bad ass
theres no question the G/560 is faster than a F430, even the Scuderia.
As far as kits I ment the Reventon, the Vesace ediion, the LP640 being little more than a body with .3L more bore, Nera edition cars, the new 650, etc
now, what do you think of this?
http://www.eliteautosllc.com/vehicles.php/mode/view/id/80
as first I was like score!! all the work already done and its Ford parts, BUT its only at 650hp and not 700+ a whipple would get you
650hp is nothing to laugh about; and IMHO, a PTE Ford GT is more drivable than a whipple'd GT...
I think you read the Reventon all wrong... its a factory coachwork car; very much like Glickenhaus' P4/5, and the old coach built cars of years past as well as in the Brunai collection... and, makes more power then they published

Hey Dan, at least Lambo Ohio (RIP) offered me a PT cruiser as a loaner. But the down side was that I had to wait 6 months, not just 5.
I cant belive I get better serivce at the Dodge dealer or AMMCO, hell AMMCO picked me up and dropped me off at my home in the morn and afternoon when they had my shitty Ram 1500 in for work!! Palmer Dodge gave me a free ticket for an oil change cause I had to wait an extra 30 mins when they messed up my wheel balancing. I buy a f'ing 200k car and am trying to buy another and I get dicked around with this shit. If I wanted to take it up the ass by the dealerI would have just bought a ferrari

I think a new SC and 700hp sounds great
wasnt the MSRP on the cars like 150k?? and they were goinf for 225-250kish when they first came out??
based on MSRP they are holding their values great, but if you paid 225+ and put a few thousand miles on one, they are at half of what you paid now

lol, I was just looking at that one, and signed up cause of it too
I would have to drive one before I took the plunge. I want to post there asking if anyone can take me for a ride or even drive it, but I dont want to be "that noob" that asks that only to get laughed at and ignored
Feels nothing like a Diablo, or even a lp640.
I'm sure one of the Indy guys would be happy to take you for a spin. Not really so sure that many would give you the keys... but you can find out in person when that time comes.
