Well, I wasn't really referring to price, HP, speed, or prestige. When it comes macho-ism, there isn't much that can touch it.

I really considered one of these. With nicer wheels it would be really cool. I just hated the fact that you see one every block. Still, a cool car.

Probably not as "Macho" as a Shelby Cobra Mustang or Corvette Z06/ZR-1, but, in general, your point is well-taken.

Very nice, only thing I would do different is get wheels with some lip action.
