Ah, ok....

And if given a choice (which doesn't make sense, because if I have the money, one would possibly already have owned both), I would pick this over the Bugatti Veyron. It looks outrageous, sounds outrageous, and is basically a true "race car for the street". Sure, the AC won't work as well, sure, you can hear the wail of the engine, and whine of the gearbox, and sure, no woman would want to sit in it for more than 15 minutes, but isn't that the beauty of it?

Bugatti Veyron is one of the ugliest piece of shit design I've seen for a super car......that's just my opinion of course,......

step one, buy a 458 engine (from somewhere). Step two, have donor F40 ready.
Step three, marry both.

And the way many of the Ferrari owners on Ferrarichat act, they are more concerned with the resale and depreciation of their cars, than actually enjoying them.

Yes, it had a Chevy engine, correct?
It was insane.

That's cause they are all posers

from my experience talking to both ferrari owners and porsche owners are ferrari people just buy the cars for image and showing off while porsche car guys are more track oriented and car focused/enthusiast

Man, those dudes are like, "The McLaren 650 is faster than the 458 Speciale. I have one on order, should I cancel my order and get the 650?"
Or, "I am really disappointed in how the 599 GTO is doing in the resale market"

What do you think about the Kawasaki H2 and H2R and the upcoming Yamaha R1 with supposedly 220-230 hp? Too much hp for users, whether it be street or track? And how do you think Ducati, Honda and BMW will respond (already a leaked pic of "1299" nomenclature)?
