Which Supercar?

I kind of prefer the Bugatti, simply because it seems more modern and would probably turn more heads. The Ferrari is great, but it's almost just a Ferrari. The Bugatti has style, and it's not like you see them very often. Mind you, the Enzo is old skool to the max, if you prefer that kind of style.

EDIT: The Ferrari Scaglietti is one heck of a car if you ask me. Very sleek, very cool.

Neither. The Enzo's front end is pretty goofy looking for a Ferrari.... like a 70's kitcar. The Bugatti tries too hard.

For that kind of money I'd keep what I have, pick up a Pantera GT5, Maserati 3200GT & Merak, Lotus Elise, GT40 replica (kitcar), Triumph GT6 MKIII, Dodge Magnum Hemi...


and a second home;)



... with a bigger garage;)

:hyper:
 
The Bugatti is pretty sweet, but if I had a choice of car, I'd go with this one.........Saleen S7 baby!

These cars (even the ones beyond the original options) are all fantastic and unbelievable works of automobile art and craftsmanship. I would be hard pressed to ever actually pick *ONE* that I would buy if I had the money. But for this thread I'm going to stat that all of the cars that have been suggested up 'till now, while being GREAT cars, have just had too many of them made.

If I'm spending that amount of money I want to be completely exclusive and for that you need a One-Off Prototype. And for me the best best prototype ever made was the 1970 Lancia Stratos Prototipo, also known as the Bertone Stratos Zero or a few other names. No matter what they call it, nothing says "NO COMPROMISES!!!" louder than a car with only one door, which doubles as the windshield, and a MAXIMUM hight of 33 inches (yes, LESS than 3 feet tall). I've got a book on show cars that I've had since the 80's and when I saw that car I was hooked. Here are a few photos I found on the web:

The rest of you can buy your Bugatti's, Ferrari's, Astons, Lambos, Saleens, etc. and run the (*SLIGHT*) risk of meeting up with a similar car at a gas station. I'm driving a One-Of-A-Kind.
