Add another car to the list of "American Cars Foxy Would Buy." Too bad I'll never afford it.. but damn.

1/4 mile: 10.9 @ 140mph
1.04g lateral g
70-0 in 157 feet..

Article here (http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=10769)

Slightly quicker and faster than the Enzo, more lateral G's...

I honestly don't know if I'd rather have this over a Porsche GT, the MB supercars, and so on. It'd be a tossup over this and the Enzo. I suppose if you're rich enough to buy one, you can probably afford all, though :)

Which supercars would you guys have?

thats my dream car :gravey:

The stopping distance is a little long, my car can even do it in 156, and grand ams stop even faster. Extremly fast car thats for sure.

Beautiful, isn't it? Very Ferrariesque.

Prospeeder, sure you didn't read a review that said the 60-0 instead of 70-0 time? Brake stopping distance is mainly a function of the stickiness of the tires, anyways; the beauty of a supercar's brakes is fade resistance. Keep on doing those 70-0 stops and measure out 30 of them in a row (if your brakes haven't caught on fire yet), and tell me the distance of the final one.. I imagine the S7's will still be constant, and your car's will be much higher.

Only supercar you need.

Z06 is an interesting supercar, especially for the price (though I've heard that the C5 Z06's are more fun to drive - not as fast, but more rewarding).. but if I'm buying a supercar, I think a Z06 is a bit too pedestrian. I'm thinking exotic - Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, Aston-Martin (not my taste), Koenigsenenegggeneegen, Pagoni.. Ford GT (if only they still made them!) or Saleen.. Mosler Phantom.. something limited edition and hard to find.

Oh yeah.. This guy lives up in Denver and has like a 200'x200' garage and one of the largest exotic car collections in the US (something like 130+ cars). I wish he was adopting:

I figured that, but when you can purchase a car for half the price that can beat the majority of the rest, you can't not like it. that and i think most exotic's are hideous. The C6 ZO6 still looks like a car.

[Foxy]

To each their own, I suppose. If I had a few billion bucks sitting around, though, I'm afraid the Z06 would be parked in the back of the garage.

Actually, I think if I could have one supercar, it'd be a McLaren F1.
