    runs circles around what?

    Be specific.

    every car on that list!!!

    In the end, this car has 638 hp, and can still go around corners.... what other new car has that much performance for under 200k? None... a 559 is over 250k, a lp 640 is over 200k.... No factory car out right now can touch this car for the $$$...

    3) Nissan GTR -

    it wont beat the GTR for reasons i posted in this thread....
    Schools in session: Is the GTR and others cars like it forgetting about the driver?

    Now, again we come to you talking about performance. The Lp640 and 599 are bad comaprisons because both are incredibly heavy.

    The proper comparion from those two would be a Gallardo SL and F430 SC.

    But on the doller per speed tree. These rack up better.

    Brammo Motorsports in Oreegon will build you an Atom for sub $50k

    And then if you can find a way to get a Caterham in the U.S.A., same story there.
