1. There are five. There will never be more. THAT'S exclusive.
2. 2,341 lbs, 680 hp. Need I say more?
3. It has matching headsets on the seats. There's a reason for that. :D

Mazda Miaita by far

Even though I love fast cars I don't get too worked up over unobtainable cars. I mean hell even if I won one in a sweepstakes I still couldn't afford a tax penalty or insurance for the car. So dare I dream about a different sports car other than my Z. I could reach to a used porche cayman s or lotus Elise.

HKYStormFront 08-01-2010 08:25 AM

did anyone actually read the first post? :facepalm:

i didn't ask if you could afford one, i just wanted to know what was everyone's fav hyper car and why. monty :wtf: lol

vash_241987 08-01-2010 01:31 PM

Zonda I like, but I would not mind having the Porsche 918 spyder :D I'm no hippie but hey you'll get great MPG while still having 500 hp

It's the LM model, to be exact. The third reason wasn't a really legit one, but if you watch this, you may appreciate the logic.

YouTube - Fifth Gear - Ferrari Enzo vs McLaren F1

The whole vid is epic, but the music starts at about 4:25 or so.

I did read your first post. I was saying that because I hav no hope of ever owning a hypercar I've never really researched them and don't know what's out there.

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 12:12 AM

then do just that and get back with me on it. without hypercars, technology for the average car would never move forward. performance standards are set by cars like this. new tech is debuted and perfected on these cars. we need hypercars and the average joe to lust after them in order for them to remain that status.

m4a1mustang 08-02-2010 08:39 AM

New tech is developed by teh gubment.

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet:

1) Super sexy inside and out.
2) Likely not to ever see another one.
3) Even if you could afford it... you can't have one.

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 05:22 PM

One-77 is definitely an awesome car, i wonder if top gear will ever get their hands on one? i know jeremy has a stiffy for AM's. good hyper car tho:tup:

Cmike2780 08-02-2010 05:52 PM

That is the Thrust SSC-
0.04 miles per gallon but she'll do Mach 1, no joke.

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 06:23 PM

impressive....... not really a car tho... more like a jet with huge engines that doesn't fly lol

Anatoray 08-02-2010 06:33 PM

... Are those the engines from the enterprise? lol

Demon Z 08-02-2010 06:42 PM

Those are the biggest Turbonators I've ever seen.

I picked the Miaita because of its top notch build quality and its hyper strong doors. I think its on par with a Lambo, don' you?

Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

*Was my favorite S class car in Forza 2
*Great racing history with the S7R
*2950 lbs/750 HP/700 lb-ft torque

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 07:18 PM

^^ definitely a sexy car worthy of lusting... S7's showed the world that america really could build a car to compete with the other hyper cars out there

top gear featured the new Veyron Super Sports on last weeks show. james drove it up above his previous record then bugatti's own test driver set the new record: 267mph (average of both directions)... incredible :bowdown:

That thing is going to be rediculous!

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 08:03 PM

a lotus with a v8 seems like a great idea but the car wasn't really made for that kind of power. light hi output 4 bangers that rev high, yes. but not big boat anchor (in comparison) v8's... would i like to drive it? sure. i wouldn't want to own one tho. also, probably not any easier to get in or out of. if you've never tried to get in a lotus you have no idea what i'm talking about. it is one of the most awkward things you will ever do in your entire life and i'm not kidding

lol.. I had a chance to sit in an Elise. To get out, you pretty much roll out of the car and end up on the ground. Truth be told, these types of cars have practicality at the bottom of the list. If anyone could afford this car, I doubt it will be the only car in the garage. Still an awesome example of the "what if" brought into reality.

HKYStormFront 08-02-2010 08:14 PM

oh i totally agree that practicality is out the window with cars like these (in general) but at the same time, i'd like to be able to get in and out of the car without having to fall in or out of it. also, having said that, the lotus exige S is one of THE BEST cars i've ever driven ever... it was like a way overpowered go cart with 10x the grip. i <3'd it!! but i'd never own one.

Waiz 08-02-2010 10:28 PM

I've always been a fan of this car:

Zaggeron 08-02-2010 10:46 PM

Sweet. I bet if you actually drove it though you'd be disappointed. Very few vintage sports cars stand the test of time when comparing performance and handling. Styling ... that's another matter.

Agreed, things have most certainly changed performance wise but the design is timeless.
