The only "super car" I will ever need is my 1g's and an Evo.

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

none of us NEED a supercar... but it's our fancy to own one...
I don't know that I have enough balls to drive the TKR, and I KNOW I don't have the bank to drive

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

That's a nice looking car, and no doubt it's very powerful and fast, but I wish they'd done something unique to the front. It looks too "generic", ie, just like any other supercar out there. Good find though.

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

I was just about to say they ripped off the S7, but they state that in the article. I'd rather have an S7 any day though. They sound like a big-block muscle car, but put out huge power.

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

That car looks amazing. I'm glad they can still make cars that actually look as powerful as they really are.

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

^I must agree... I really love the look of the car... and it's so much more than looks... it's got the power to back it up...

I were an owner of that car... I'd keep it stock (maybe a stereo) and take it to all the car shows I could...
Now that I think a/b it... I'd hate to put full insurance on a piece like that...
prolly $3k a month for that car...

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

lol...I don't know if they would even let you insure it, but yeah if they did it would be outrageous and you would probably just be better off putting that money in a savings account for a few years until you build up enough to pay for any type of accident you may have.

True, though if you can shell out $600k for a car, you can probably have the money to self-insure...

Me on the other hand... I'd have to sell off my future kids and grand kids into slavery, mortgage my house, my neighbor's house... become a hired hitman, and sell my body to science...

But then again, after I got in the car... they'd have to catch me...

Thats what I was trying to say. Sure its a sweet car and its got a shit ton of power, but supercars all tend to look the same. That and they are more than I will make in the first half of my lifetime. Just dont tickle my fancy ya know?

Re: The ultimate Supercar... Barabus TKR

Anyone have $600,000? Shep is pretty high up there and he still drives his on the street (last I heard anyway) and it cost no where near 600 grand.
