xecoupe Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Oh hell yeah !!!, a guy at work had one years ago and showed me the photos. He bought one not long after they came out and said for the whole time he had it nothing could touch him, porche, ferrari, he would blow them away. I think parts were the biggest factor as to why he sold it, they were so expensive and took ages to get but what a sweet car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monzta Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) The year it was launched only one car in the world introduced that same year was faster and that was the Ferrari Testarossa, and it would still need a f***** beating to keep up... Kind of put things into perspective. Edited July 28, 2011 by monzta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
