I still want one....although I'd be willing to go with less HP for the street.

Then again, if NASA had called, I'd have gone up in the space shuttle, so I'm not really risk-adverse.

I love the GTR‘s numbers but must concur its no real looker. If the performance wasn't so extreme I‘d give it a "meh". Same with the interior, dash buttons etc. I'm fact I don‘t think anything Nissan makes is particularly good looking.

Meh. For that kind of money, I'll take a C7 Z06 any day. Faster around a track, just about as fast in a straight line, and probably tunable up to similar power numbers without much difficulty. Much better looking too. Alternatively, a 911 Turbo S would be fun...

FR-S + Ariel Atom + 1199 Panigale in one garage = my literal automotive heaven

time to take out the loans

I don't know - I'd want something good for comfort/cruising too - probably a 335i. Also, I'd take a BMW HP4 over the Panigale. That would be a fun collection though

...... Oh I'll keep my 9-5 Aero or my dads Viggen for cruising!!

Yeah the HP4 is utterly beast, anything that has less than what, 1000+ hp is going to have it and it's drivers feelings painfully hurt . I just need something italian in my life, since I probably won't ever be able to afford a Ferrari and a 4C will be take 8 million years to depreciate.... might as well go with a Ducati

But yes fun collection it would be...

- Saab for highway cruising
- FR-S for utter honing around like a madman grinning around like a spaniel
- Atom for deforming my face and scaring the living hell out of my inner 10 year old on a track
- Panigale for whenever I want to arrive in obnoxiously flamboyant style lol

Makes sense to me

C7 Z06es have put down publicized lap times already?

I'm assuming it'll be similar to a C6 ZR1, if not faster.

Haha, the only thing is I've heard the horror stories servicing a Ducati.... I'll just have to be prepared to take out a second mortgage when anything on that bike goes wrong

Perks of wanting an Italian road product

I mean the car makes damn near the same specs as the ZR1, is lighter and has light-years more advanced suspension

This being said.... I'd imagine this C7 Z06 will be softer than the ZR1, that thing is know for being a complete savage with it's sole intent being trying to kill whomever is behind the wheel
