you know, i often disagree with what people think about these kind of things but i feel like if you say anything other than sub zero for this car, you should be kicked off the forum.

This car is definitely sub-zero. Personally I find some of the picks for the "cool wall" lame but this one is definitely legendary.

If nobody has seen it check out this video of Chris Harris driving this (and an f50) I watched few weeks ago

Genuinely the only "not new" fezza i'd actually like to own. All the old 275's 250's even the GTO's, yes they are rare, and yes they are pretty, but none of them make me really want one. F40 yes, 458 yes, FF no, California no, F12 maybe.

Subzero for sure.

It's pretty simple: if one thinks this isn't one of the freaking coolest cars evar, they just plain don't like cars. Octane isn't in their blood.

I swear the people who voted "cool" and "uncool" have to be trolls.... it's simply no other way you can be on a SPORTS CAR FORUM and vote that for an F40 out of all cars

.... it's sacrilege

I wanna say Sub zero, but the car has taken a bit of a cult turn. Women don't like cults.

Cool, but most likely one of the best drives of your life.

Fast, fun, and technologically impressive does not equal "Cool Car".

Would I do unspeakable things to drive one on a track for a day? Absolutely.

Would I show off on a date/in public/at a party/at work with it? Shoot me first. It's not something I would be terribly proud of in the driveway.

Great car is not synonymous with "sub-zero" or "cool"
