What, pray tell, do you drive, that gives you such an expert knowledge of these exotic cars, and alllows you to deem them to be junk and weak?

hahahah, sorry i didnt mean to offend anyone by saying that the ford GT is junk (i would never say that about the CGT). The reason i say this is.. have you sat in one? Its like a retro/modern not so super car interior. I HATE the seats, and come on, the engine is like 10 year old!! Its just a little reworked from the engine off the lightening.... which is a truck (for all the people that dont know). Yes you can slap a blower on any engine and make the car "fast." The looks are ok, but its not enough for me... so i would not want one. Oh and the doors... mean you cant park next to anyone (note top gear).
As for the baby lambo, I'm not saying it IS weak (power wise), it just looks weak next to its big brother. if i had the money.. yea, maybe i would take both, but really i would go for the lambo doors and the exclusivity that the big brother has.
oh and for the record this is what i drive:
that was me at the beaverun time attack. I track my car (or used to before the 944) and do all the work on it myself. It's no "civic" nor do i claim to be fast (in a straight line)
but i can get though turns pretty quick

Ok - I see you drive a WRX / STi. Nice - you can play on the racetrack, and pick up groceries on the way home... AND if you want to stop for a little picnic, I see that you have the picnic table rear spoiler option as well.
Just messin' with you - my DD is a '95 Legacy with 185,000 on the clock. Most reliable car I've owned. May upgrade to a WRX soon...

haha, no hard feelings
yes, i love the subaru as a Daily driver/track car/picnic table/park bench.... 
Actually the wing has just been traded for a wingless trunk 
Still, the 944 rocks the STi handling wise on the track (its not as fast though, oh well
).DAMN! 185K!!!! wow, that says something about reliability!
