Can't believe you bothered to make a thread, then didn't bother to post a picture Rolling Eyes C'mon mate. I invest a bit of my energy in a few clicks so the 100 or so other people don't have to.

Ugly, both of them, they both look out of proportion, almost cartoon like. Similar wierdness to the MR2/Fiero bodykits you get and just don't look right, i'd rather have a Testarossa.

I don't know why but usually if I see someone in a Ferrari I think 'twat' but if I see a nice Porsche or Lambo I think 'cool car'.

The interesting thing is that supercars are now getting to be superbike-quick.
I know it's speed is only comparable to the GTR which is half the price, but the top skyline's have always been pretty damn fast, especially as they tend to be 'tweaked' and tend to be owned by the car-geekier side, rather than over-rich, which are nicer to show up Smile.
However, until now most sports bike riders (600cc+) have been pretty confident that over the quarter mile and below the car won't have a chance - times are changing. No doubt it's pretty decent around corners, though I suspect will still not match track times in most cases.

It's nice but I'd still rather have a gallardo LP560-4. Thumbs Up Should start playing the lottery I guess.

The problem supercar owners have is that acheving these speeds and holding a top speed of say 180mph puts far more stress on a car then it would on a bike. Virtually every day on my 636 I would take it to the limiter or close, do this in your Ferrari and you will have a mechanical bill to buy a fleet of Ninjas!

I was in a residential car park just off sloane sq this week and I'd have chosen the Testarossa over the new DB7, murcielago, 911 GT3, SL-63 AMG and assortment of Bentleys. You just can't beat the styling. Thumbs Up

Not sure about speed, but yea, good point definitely for acceleration.
Racing a car away from the lights you can generally at least know they've spent a big chunk of cash just to keep up with you if they get close Smile.
