I'd put the 959 up there too if it were street legal.
There are some good news. While the 959 was illegal in the US, Canepa Designs now produces a kit that allows the car to pass US emissions tests, thus making the car street-legal. In fact, the kit makes the car even more powerful and produces 600HP.

Here's a link to a modded 959 that's on sale: http://www.canepa.com/inventory/exotic/silver_959.html

I love the 959 as well. Such a beautiful car and so advanced for its time. Even by today's standards, almost two decades after it was introduced, its performance is still on par with true exotics like the Enzo and SLR.

I wonder how much they go for ...

My dreamcar is the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale...might be realistic in like 10 years, when depreciation takes it into my price range.

Zonda, no paint... just clear coat on the CF body. Not the fastest or most powerful or whatever, but it really does it for me:



and the interior... IMO puts ferrari and lambo to shame...

as a former dealer of Maserati, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin, and as a test driver for many other high end cars in comparison, Lambo BMW Benz etc, I'll take the evo anyday over those. Just too many problems with the others and if you really think about it, they're just cars, granted a little faster

Exotic cars are not reliable in general. They tend to break very easily. Fitment is also poor with these types of cars, because of human error from being handmade.

my realistic dream car is my evo being fully built by AMS or Buschur, which will happen sometime over the next couple of years. My other dream cars are the 997 turbo and the new Corvette SS with 650bhp. Hopefully one day I'll have all three.
