Really? REALLY?

I mean, the GTR is a great car, but you really prefer it to the Enzo, Bugatti and almighty McLaren?

Isn't it amazing, cars like the GTR and ZR1 are able to compete with cars that are four five times as much... I mean, conventional wisdom is (or was) that speed costs money, though both cars are not cheap, but they are a steal compared to other cars on the list.

Out of that list, for the track, I'd go with the Mosler and the Mclaren. For the daily driver, the 599 GTB hands down!!
