    Maybe the color is off but as a closed cockpit or open cockpit car, it was the best front mounted LMP of the 90's and 00's.
    Btw, most Panoz interior parts are of an SN95 Mustang so i don't get the Cavalier bit.

    The interiors just look so cheap to me. Most American vehicles have cheap interiors that I have seen. The Cavalier statement was referring to having a nice great looking and performing car like a Corvette, but have a shitty interior. Even if it is to save weight, it shouldn't look cheap for a car in that price range. I have only been inside of a couple Panoz street cars and seen a few others online. As for it's performance I am not talking shit on it. These cars are more than capable. I just think it is so ugly, even for a functional race car. It's just an opinion solely based on aesthetics.

    Panoz has ALWAYS been kinda "out there" with their designs, but they sound AMAZING and move like a scalded dog lol

    0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds 520hp that will get the kids to soccer practice on time
    Looks amazing
    I also like the fact that it's not something you can just run down to the dealership and pick up, also not something that people have heard of, but still has amazing performance.
    that's how I roll

    My choice?? Well, I'm going Swedish.

    The Koenigsegg CCXR



    It's fast, light, looks good, it's environmental friendly, and it has a targa top

    Idk... 0-60 in 3 seconds doesn't sound too bad to me. Plus the rumored top speed of 250+ mph is nice to think about. I LOVE the look of it and the fact that the targa top can be put away under the hood lol

    I have always loved the first gen camaros, the shape and design has always been the perfect muscle car look to me. I don't know that I could bring myself to go out and drive that everyday though, I'd be too damn nervous something would happen to it and I couldn't replace it.

    Very nice choices people. I actually have a more realistic pick.

    If I could pick a car to own the rest of my life and to use as a daily it would be a 09 M5 in all black.

    It would be a great car to have as an all around good daily. You can drive it to the store and then get a good bit of power on your way there/home. And also gain a lot of attention from others. This would be perfect if I planed on taking the kids around in it.

    NOW.. If I can get a large SUV to use to take the family out. And this was my toy car....

    Ferrari 360 Modena

    God it would be so amazing to drive. You would get attention everywhere you go. It has plenty of power and is just simply beautiful. I'm not really sure how to explain it better.

    i'm sure someone will flame me for this but i'd take the lexus LFA.
    reasons: i absolutely love it. the design is beautiful, it's extremely well engineered, the sound of the motor just gets me. it's rediculously fast, and fun (i would assume) to drive. at the end of the day, it's a lexus, so i know i'll be reasonably comfortable and it won't be too much to handle, since it would be my sole car.

    Everyone has a problem with its price, but when you can throw money around, why not an LFA?

    yes you're right it doesn't add up. but the people that are willing to pay that price, are the ones that really want it. not the people that go out and say i'm gonna spend X amount of money give me the fastest flashiest blah blah blah, i can get. they buy the LFA because they want THAT particular car. which is why i would get it. i love it for what it is. i think it's beautiful, and it's got everything i would want. sure for the money i could have something much faster in a straight line, higher top speed, quicker through the corners etc. but the LFA just exemplifies what i want in such a way that no other car does.

    I'd take the Scorpion by Ronn Motor Company. Why? Its a 3.5L V6 twin turbo putting down about 650hp with 6 speed manual transmission. Not satisfied yet? How about the full carbon fibre body? Still unhappy? Lets talk about 40mpg. With that much power!! Did I mention its a hybrid with Hydrogen Fuel Injection?
    Made in America, my only turn off.

    These "people that are gonna buy it" Talk about some of the most ridiculous things you have to go through to lease to own a car.

    Autoblog:
    The monthly lease payment on the Lexus LFA is $12.398.44. For 24 months. That's $297,562.56 worth of lease payments over two years, at the end of which you own nothing. However, Lexus is quick to point out that the LFA's MSRP is $375,000, so you're technically not paying full price. And at the end of 24 months, lessees are free to plunk down an additional $93,750 (more than the base price of a very comparable Nissan GT-R, we should mention) and buy their LFA outright.

    Of course, you can't just waltz into your local Lexus dealership with $12,398.44 and rocket waltz out in an LFA. Lexus has to actually select you to lease its (admittedly awesome) car. Once you're chosen, you've got 10 days to drop off a $10,000 deposit at your local Lexus dealer and submit to a credit check. We should mention that this will not be the only deposit and credit check Lexus requires.

    Once your credit checks out, you then have to deposit an additional $50,000. To mini-recap, that's $60,000 down on a $375,000 car. Sounds reasonable (from a detached, algebraic ratio perspective) until you remember that you're not buying the car, just leasing it. All of this will be/is happening from March–June 2010. Production of the LFA doesn't start until December. We don't know how long each car will take to build, but customers lessees will be required to go through a second credit check immediately prior to delivery. We're not entirely sure you really want to pass the second credit check. Here's why.

    Remember the $12,398.44 per month lease payment we mentioned a couple paragraphs up? That's just the breakdown. All LFAs are being doled out via Lexus' 1Pay Lease Program. Meaning that to lease the LFA, you hand Lexus a check for $237,562.56, which is the full amount of the lease minus your $60,000 pair of deposits. Oh, and there's a $700 "aquisition fee." Plus tax, title, license and registration. The good news? Even though you have to lease the LFA, because of the lengthy approval/deposit process, each car is still made to order. Meaning that even though you don't own the car, you can still order it in Passionate Pink, a $3,000 option.
