Hard to go wrong with either really. Both about the same money. You won't buy either for less than a million.

Well, I'd save myself a load of money and get a TVR Cerbera Speed 12 second hand (it's no longer in production)......7.7 litre V12, producing 800bhp, 0-60mph in 3.0seconds, and 240MPH+....200kg lighter than a mclaren F1, and with 200 more bhp......it ruled. Pity it's out of production now, but TVR will come up with something more insane. :cool:

That car rocks so hard. It's like, how hard does it rock? Take something really hard, like, quantum differentials, and then multiply it by something else really hard, like Ron Jeremy. That's how hard it rocks. It's amazing. I'm regularly in awe if its rock-ness. The only way it could rock harder would be if it wore leather pants. But only a fool wears leather pants. I wear leather pants. I like the way they feel. But that's another story altogether.

Glad you agree Blisshead, sorry to hear about the leather pants tho....

Has no-one but me heard of TVR? they beat all these other cars out of sight for performance!

Yea I've heard of TVR before, haven't heard too much about them in a few years. First time I heard of them was back in the 80's they had a few models that looked a LOT like the Fiat XI/9, but they were all custom built. They measured you and built the interior to your body dimmensions. Haven't paid much attention to them since then. Got any pics of their newer stuff?
 
Given the two choices, I'd go w/ the Enzo... for MANY reasons.

But, I gotta say, It's not even my fav Ferrari... I'm a huge fan of the 360 bodied Challenge Stradalle! But, I can think of any number of cars I'd choose over the Bug... The S7, a new Ford GT, a Koenigsegg...

The Bug just looks weird to me... Plus, the name implies Bug to me.

If there's driving fans out there, AND, you own an XBox,, you REALLY owe it to yourself to get Project Gotham Racing 2!

Check on google.... 'TVR Cerbera Speed 12' is a good one...iif you get 2 cars on that search, that's because one is the predecessor, the Speed 12....it is a mean looking car.
