Default 600 Horsepower Club : )

[/align][/align]Hi MCF Members, which below dream machine would you like to have/drive ? I`m trying to get some of our governments bail-out Money so your tax dollars can pay for one of the belowreams are still `free...EnJoy

The 600-Horsepower Club
Uphill, downhill…20 mph or 200... These cars just don’t care.
600-bhp Club: Bentley Continental GT Speed
Elegant, refined, understated and very fast.
600-bhp Club: Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
It might just be the best regular sports car ever made.
600-bhp Club: Dodge Viper SRT10
The Viper is about as subtle as a punch in the mouth, but a lot more fun.
600-bhp Club: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
The 599 is a pure dose of sports-car aggression, busy and charismatic.
600-bhp Club: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
In this group, the Lamborghini may be the most exhilarating car.
600-bhp Club: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
The SL65 makes its own charisma, a beautifully integrated hyperkinetic perfection.
Nissan GT-R SpecV
Something wicked this way...isn't coming.
Road Test: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series
A Benz from the Dark Side, with DTM-inspired bodywork and a twin-turbo twelve.
Revealed! Droptop Nissan 370Z
A bona fide competitor for the far more expensive Porsche Boxster.
The Last Aston Martin Vanquish
Newport Pagnell builds its last car.

I agree with you space.

the ZR1 is a no brainer. ESPECIALLY if you have ever seen one in person.

[align=center]Mike, thanks for taking the time to post & share your [/align][align=center]awesome pictures of GM`s auto erotica.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I know that cost is unreachable to the masses, but it`s great[/align][align=center]to have an American Auto Company produce such a[/align][align=center]total performance sports car to compete with the competition[/align][align=center]for half the price. The below picture is my screen saver.[/align][align=center][:-]I have to keep cleaning my screen. LOL [:-][/align][align=center][/align]

The ZR1 would be my pick, also. Agreed that some of the foreign cars are tempting, But AMERICAN made is for us, and nothing but. The European exotics are nice, as is the Japanese exotics, but the ZR1 would be my pick if I could lay down the cash. Give me the leather, also.
