Probably the coolest car I've seen is one of the Ford GT40's. The sound of all those carbs tuned to perfection are at the same level as Ferrari engines when it comes to cool sounding. Other than that, the days are filled with the typical roster of rich bastard, living in southern California style cars. Everything from the new Austin Martin, to the Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and seemingly endless parade of Porsche's.

Driving down PCH on Saturday I passed 3 Ferrari's in the couple miles between Long Beach and Huntington. Too bad there was so much traffic that we were all going at the same, 57mph.

I want to see pictures, because according to top gear enzos only came in red and yellow... not doubting, but i want to see proof of a black enzo, its got to be a custom color ordering or something.

is it just me or do ferraris sound stupid. I don't know maybe i'm too redneck but i really don't like their high raspy sound. I would much rather hear a blown 351 or a turbo nissan than a ferrari.

uhhh.... have you heard one in person? Those things growl at you and you want to crap your pants. A nice turbo on those things would just scare the crap out of anything.

There is no sweeter engine sound than a wonderfully complex screaming V-12 Ferrari. A burbling primitive detroit pig-iron V-8 sounds very cool too, but it's like comparing a rock band to a symphony orchestra. Different audiences appreciateeach one.

Here's a link to an F40 on a dyno. The guys step back when it opens up, can't blame them it sounds insane. Check out some of the other videos at the site too, good stuff.The red Saleen S7 in the new Gillette Mach Turbo razor comercial is owned by my friends boss. He Owned (started the business out of his garage) All-Glass Aquariums, sold it, now is the CEO or whatever. It was the 1st one in production and was built specially for him. I've driven next to it and it's one of the badest looking machines I've ever seen. The paint looks so deep you'd swear you could reach into it. Beautiful car.The guy has a whole fleet of exotic cars. I'm jealous, he's lucky. He drives his cars through a car wash on the way out of his garage. I need to start my own business.drivetoishF40 dyno

I went to france a few years back, I saw a GT40, 3 or 4 elise, one 550 maranellos, a bunch of modenas, 3 or 4 diablos, and an f40. Plus many more Venturi Atlantiques, f355's, 911 turbos, and one porche 959.

Here in the states I live close to a rich area called Southlake. My ex girlfriend's dad had a 911 turbo and a s2000, there neighbors had a viper gts, lotus esprit, and an f355 spider. I have also seen a Murcialego, f40, f50, and a Saleen s7, plus many more modenas and 911 turbos.

I love cars that rich people own.

Yeah...Thanks...I know...just helping you less fortunate ones out a little. When I win the Lottery Saturday I'll be making videos of my Ferraris on the dyno and posting them here. (insert guy from the Dodge Ram commercial here--> "Sweeeet!")
