no one said american cars weren't fast or n.e. thing... I never said that I thought euro cars were better than American cars either, I just said that Euros are very well performing cars, and I think that's what everyone's saying as well...

[crazy torino]

i'm not sayin that are not fast i'm syin that as far as what they are worth, how they last, and their history. for instance lambo was created for the shear fact that mr. lambo said that the Ferrari he bought was a pice of trash. and shit breaks on those cars every day man you people don't know the kinda people i do. one of my buddies works in greensburo nc and his job exzotic sports car meachanic. all the rich bastards from southern pines send their austin vanquish and such cars of that breed up there to have somthin fixed every other damn day. yeah great performance until the same thing breaks over and over agin, just like j-ports.
what i'm stating is oh screw it never mind

Well i think we can all agree every region has sought after cars that are good/exceptional.

USA:
06 Z06 *only topped at the ring by Porcshe CGT
Vipers-No replacment for displacment for dodge
GT40-what else does a ailing compnay do but revive some live into a american dream
Saleen S7-The only real American Exotic

Japan
the new GTR and the old GTRs R32,R33,R34- What a legacy this car has if you shift past all the JDM yo hype crap.
EVO's- 1 of Rally finest
STI's- the same as above
our own beloved 3000kgt VR4-do i need to say nething
Nissian Z series- with cars as the 240/260/280z/300z/and the new 350z what more can u ask from nissian in a rwd car?
RX7/RX8-Mazada and the rotary *still think every mazada shoudl be one but thats me*


Euro
BMW-Power,Handling,and creater comfronts all in one
Porsche-The most dominate body in all sports car racing PERIOD.
Jaguar-Although the company has fallen along way this company was once Britians flagship
Aston Marting-Good to see old friends back and doing good
Lotus-with the Elise/Exige its a alittle car with alot of grip
Probably more but i'm not that Euro savy

Itaily
Ferrari-Next to Porsche probably one of the finiest racing legacy ever. **Formula 1 fans we have to admit Schumaker didn't do it all by him onesy did he?**
Lambo-i know they are owned by audio who is owend by VW but they still roll out of italy and have the italan legacy. ** who else names a car after satan himself?**
Maserati-How much crap can a company go through?? Look at maseratis long list of owners success and failures and you will see. Although i love the fact the brief period ferrari owned them they helped the make the MC12.

I know i have missed alot but this was like a 2 second thing just to get the point across that every country has there namesake cars.

[youngvr4]

yeah just like the S7 breaking down on its first trip in the movie mischief V

i've heard bently breaks down all the time. so we have also heard ford does the same thing. or ist it how well its takin care off? pushing your car to its top speed every day could possibly be a reason for what your exotic techs are seeing.
your defintetly not the only one who knows people who work on exotic cars. i've talked to a few guys at the same place that paul allen buys his exotics from, and if your taking care of the car, lots of bmw's and merc's and especially lotus, if takin care off will last you a long time.
i also know w guy sho worked at jag, very well built engines as far as he speaks.

a car will only last as long as you take care off it man, me and you dont know what the owner did to there cars.

now i didnt build any of these engines so i'm not gonna say your dead out wrong, but just think outside of your world for a sec, and know that there are others who will completly disagree with you and show you real proof

[Musashi3000GT]

most of the time Exotics break down its cause of the drivers though. Just like Young said, It lasts as long as you take care of it. I had a professor in college who bought a Ferrari Testarossa, the guy took it to the shop three times in two months for the same problem, bad fuel injectors. wanna know what the problem was? he was putting regular octane in the tank!

Anyway I really dont think supercars are meant to last more then a few years cause if you have the lifestyle to afford a supercar then chances are you can afford the next one and the one after that.

as far as the Saleen S7, its a nice looking car but it cant hold a lap in any track against the top 10 euro supercars. Sorry but the Ford GT is actually a better supecar. Even Steve Saleen said it himself in, he was trying to re-create the McLaren F1.

[xXxRocker5150]

I'd rather have a dodge viper though... maybe it's just the mopar guy in me, but we've been a mopar family for some 50+ odd years (I'm talking back to my dad's time) and he's abused so many of their cars, and they've always treated him good... plus they're easy as hell to work on, heck I think my next car's gonna' be a turbo minivan

what I'm sayin' is that well I really don't know, I'm pretty much just rambling on an on, but out of all the american cars, I say I like the viper the best.

[Musashi3000GT]

^ dammit Rocker, put down the whisky, your not even old enough to drink!

[xXxRocker5150]
