I'm digging it except for the front end. Nice idea, poor execution up there.

Uses an Audi V10. Nice powerplant, but can it handle?

Damn that car is going to do some serious damage to anything it hits head on with any speed. Someone elses car will be split in two and this will be fine on the other side.

Yep, If Nissan offered it here with an old fashioned 6speed, I'd buy one now.

huh...that's a Toyota?

and they're goddamn stupid. That's a boring car. Will it even hang with the F458 or the Audi 5.2 R8?

and lol at the topic car using the Audi V10...I wonder if it's anywhere near the level of the R8?

the front end looks like an ugly shark.

I can't remember the name of the species...but it looks like it has a shelf on it's head.

Whoops! You're right. My mistake. I thought that was a GT-R. Sorry about that.

No love for the LFA? How is it boring? 9,000rpm V10, sign me up.

Anyway, the new Hispano-Suiza is lame. I'm a huge fan of the older cars, and this thing doesn't even come close to doing them justice. Just like the Veyron vs. the T35, none of the original spirit remains.

because it costs more than this and I bet it won't perform on the same level.

teehee...can't argue that either.

I <3 the way those silly flats sound.

I need to find a way to get a nice 914/6 and hate everything about it except the noises it makes and the way it moves.
