Diablo (although would prefer a SV), Scud or LT for me.

When did Carrera GT prices get to that level?

LFA



It used to live up the road from me, so seen and heard it locally a few times.

It makes a fantastic sound.

3k miles.

Yeah must be an exhilarating drivers car, sat in a garage.
Based on the cars similar to this I’ve driven on driver experience days/had a few hours using ….. my 1/4 million to half a million would be going on assortment of cheaper stuff .

I’m not skilled enough ( not being Walter Rohrl ) to dance a Carrera GT on the limit …… whereas something like a MSD Escort or Alfaholics modded 105 or a nice 200SX or 135 coupe I could use and enjoy

Yes but this thread is about cars for the ‘supercar experience’, not just fast as I bet any modern hot hatch would beat a Diablo or XJ220 round a track laugh but you crack missing the point and trying (and failing) to be funny…

Yes, but then you’d end up driving a BMW 140i

No it wouldn't. you'd also still be in the same car as a 19 year old estate agent.

And a Tesla would be faster than any of them. And it’ll do fart sounds.
Numbers are irrelevant. I’ve seen and heard an LFA once. To own one would be bloody awesome.

You could have 4 Diablo's for the price of 1 CGT. Does not compute.

As its about supercars, I guess because the 675 is considerably faster in every single speed increment that an LFA, that's why it is there.

In fact, the 675 is quicker in every single speed increment than every other car listed there.

Its actually only 0.4 secs slower than the Ferrari SF90 which is their current quickest supercar offering, and the 675 was launched in 2015.

Never fully understand the anti McLaren sentiment on pistonheads.

Being more mumsnet than ph my ideal Maclaren would be a collapsible side by side but if it had to have noisy smelly engine then the 720s looks the business to me. The rest here are a bit meh
