I just finished watching a video on Youtube about a guy who won the lottery and wanted to buy a supercar.? He didn't know which one he wanted, so 5th Gear (British TV show) took him to a guys private collection and they looked at all the cars and the guy decided to test drive two of them.? He chose the Ferrari F430 and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.? He settled on the Ferrari in the end.

My question to you:? If you were in this guys shoes, which two NEW supercars would you pick to test drive?? And why?

I watched this one a while ago, but if I was to buy new cars, a Murcielago and a Zonda F. Why? Because they both look so cool, I've always wanted a Murcielago and the Zonda is devilish quick. Now if I had to choose one car, I would try to get my hands on a F40.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Myself, I would pick the Aston Martin DB9 because it is the sexiest car on the face of the earth, and I would take the Ford GT as the other because it is just so damn cool and lightning fast.

Which two? Screw that, I'd drive as many as possible,

pommes-t

Porsche 911 Turbo (to me THE perfect sportscar) and a Lamborghini Murcielago (the most brutal one).

Porsche GT3, and a Ferrari F430 Spyder.

With or without the Top Gear spoiler?  :P

I think I would want a Lamborghini Gallardo (yes the baby Lambo) and a Carrera GT.

BMWDave

Porsche Carrera GT, and a Pagani Zonda F.  The Zonda makes you feel like a gentleman, its regal and insanely capable at the same time.  The CGT is just an all out performance marvel, one of the best cars ever made, IMO.

DB9 and CGT.

If I could buy any car in the world after the F1, it would be a DB9. Automotive equivalent of Keira Knightly.

The problem with Porsche is that they're everywhere.  I want a car that very few people own.  I have only seen two Ford GT's in person and I only seen one DB9.  If I'm spending that much money on a car then I want some exclusivity too, not just performance and good looks.  I want the whole package - Exclusivity, performance, goosebumps, and good looks.  If I don't get goosebumps just standing next to the car, then I don't want it.

Keira Knightly with boobs maybe.  The car just oozes sex appeal.

After much thought, I would take the fastest one and the lightest one.

Doesn't the Zonda F outperform the CGT?

Let's hope we all win the lottery tonight then :lol:

The new Gallardo Convertible is nice - anyone see the Top Gear review a while ago?

I'd probably pick that and the F430 convertible even if they're a little similar.  I like Aston Martin's as well - but what is there to seperate DB9 and V8 Vantage?

850CSi

Now the question is, would you rather have Keira Knightley and Kate Beckinsale, or two supercars?

You mean besides 4 extra cylinders, 60 more horsepower and 2 additional seats in the DB9?

One from column A and one from column B would be just peachy for me.

I'll take the women. First of all they'll be working and making money for me anyway. I will also aution them off to would-be stalkers for a few nights. That should buy me a few supercars, and maybe a Learjet or two.

Keira Knightley and a DB9 Sports Pack.  Or a Gallardo Spyder.  Something either British or open top, to show off the most amazing woman, like, ever.
