No sir, car is a failure in many ways. 1000 bhp looks good, but the car weighs 4400lbs. That's twice as much as the McLaren F1! Bugatti is in 26th place for the Nurburgring, which is really bad. I personally would go with a Pagani Zonda F Roadster Clubsport. Hand stitched carbon fiber body, and the sound from the AMG engine is most likely to make you need a change in pants. Keep it Italian!

I completely understand that, Pagani outsources, the styling all comes from Horacio Pagani's mind though, Look at the interior, look at the lines! Hell, Pagani was born in Argentina, moved to Italy, used to actually work for Lamborghini, who screwed him. Either way, he's still Italian, and has one of the most respected names in the business. These cars are completely hand built in a little building in Modena, Italy, and each take an average of 3 months to complete.

the zonda is a masterpiece, but ugly as a home made sin.

All opinion, I have bowed to them since I was 12, so I'm completely bias. I would hump a coconut to see one of them in real life.

id say for the price range that the camaro is in you can make a strong argument that it is the ultimate sports car in that range.

However it is not even close when you consider the super cars out there. even the ones with "limited" tech in them still have tech that far outshines the camaro.

The ZR1 makes a good arguement (since its at least half the price of similar performing cars), however when you compare luxury and interiors other super cars are better.

Now a days i think you HAVE to have luxury to be considered the ulitmate sports car. You can add alot without affecting performance much, but those types of cars cost serious money.

I have been made partial to Maserati over the years by my Dad, but this is by far the most fantastic car ever produced imo, and yes I have ridden in one and it's way better than the enzo (just my opinion). You forget you are in a street car. It literally feels like you are in a 2 person formula 1 car driving down the street. Fantastic in every way. Plus, everyone that knows cars gets that, "OH SHIT!" look on their faces and everyone that doesn't gets that, "what the hell is that?!" look.



SO HOT.

Close 2nd is the Koenigsegg ccx (only because I will probably never see one on the street).

I love the styling and would love the opportunity to drive one someday!

I test drove this one the other day. It was a better sports car than my camaro SS. Seemed faster and more agile.
One big problem.... No back seat.

I also have a Porsche 911S. The camaro is great for what it is, but anyone who thinks that it is a better "sports car" than a porsche 911, just really has never driven both cars. You have to remember that the difference in price is pretty high so you could buy 2 loaded Camaro SS's for the price of one 911. I love both of my cars for different reasons. Bumblebee is fun to drive and get's a lot of looks. (It's my daily driver.) My porsche is for when I want to get serious and tear up a back road.
