Perhaps a Maybach, but a plain old S? If you can see one everyday, then it's not really exotic. But once again, I suppose it really depends on what a person's definition of "exotic" is.

It was green... and it had an Si sticker on it, along with a DOHC Vtec sticker; it was a Dx.

The most exotic car I have seen around here is a BMW Z9, the one off of James Bond.

Oh now we're talking about most exotic seen?

Then I'd have to go with the Diablo GT (well, sort of cheating; it was at a dealer).

Well, I was undecided, but today, at the Ottawa Auto Show, nestled between a Yellow Lamborghhini Diablo, and a Toy car booth, was the most beautiful car I've ever seen, a 2001 Lotus Exige, fly yellow.

I was awestruck, this car in perosn looks like speed. Check it out!

There ARE two ratings for horsepower: SAE horsepower and Metric horsepower. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) horsepower has been accepted as the standard measure of horsepower. Metric horsepower is rarely used, but this would account for the difference of 987hp vs. 1001hp.

One SAE horsepower is approximately equal to 1.0138697 metric horsepower; 987 SAE hp * 1.0138697 = 1000.6893939 hp =~1001 hp.

(forgot to add)

I wonder why any company would bother using the metric horsepower, it's just going to confuse people.

cause many people probably dont know the difference, and thats the main aim of the car company, to confuse people into thinkin it has more hp than it really does..
