the R8 or the Saleen. I'd probably take the R8 because of how exotic it looks. Definately and eye catcher. What kind of price do those run you? Honestly I might call BS until I see either with pics and yourself driving them.

GT3 would hand you your ass too - hell R8 would for that matter.

Both the R8 And the Saleen would be tough to deal with on a daily basis (for me anyway) - ever back up in one? - visability sucks the big one. I couldn't imagine driving the saleen in the rain -

That's what I was thinking but in all honesty maybe he has a rich grandfather who's willing to spend upwards of 60k+ on a car for him.....More power to the kid if he has that kind of scratch to burn. Personally if I had someone willing to spend/make payments upwards of 60k on anything for me it'd be a house and i'd just make my money back and still buy the car I want within a year or more AND have the ownership of a an appreciating asset that will make me more money as opposed to a depreciating one such as a car.

+1, and the seats in the saleen suck. I drove my bosses for thee days when i was up in VA. That design they have going down the midde of the seat hurt my back/spine so bad after about 30min. driving. All those little ripples just dig into your back.


For those that have no clue what im talking about.

We have a winner. Actually I didn't even think of the new z06. That would be my choice, after that MB AMG you just posted of course.

My cellphone has that. It is very annoying. It always predicts the wrong word, and it's a bitch to work around it.
