| Re: 2 Italians & 1 German Id just like to add that in a striaght line, according to those who either own or have driven both the SLR is the fastest. the LP640 and 599 should be slightly faster from a roll, and LP640 from a dig. the SLR with traction control on = no wheelspin traps 128 mph cosistantly and according to an owner, 60-80 km/h on a cool night and floor it...you will get TONS of wheelspin. my choice is the LP640. id modify it as such: -new exhaust = 30 + whp and minus 100 lbs as the LP640 has the same exhaust as 6.2 Murcie -convert to rwd = another 30 whp minus another 150-200 lbs -CF clutch = + 10 whp according to a guy who did it -CF seats = take off another 70 lbs -CF rims = off another 50 lbs (little more than 10 per coner) -change hyraulic lift for electric = save another 30 lbs all in all, quite a bit more hp going to the ground, off with ~400 lbs. then if thats not enough you can always TT it  |

| Re: 2 Italians & 1 German Ferrari for me. The 599GTB beats the SLR at its own game for much less money and it is likely the better day to day car over the Lambo. Ferrari easily IMO. Impressive data collection though I must say. M

| Re: 2 Italians & 1 German Despite Top Gear's laptime result on their mono-dimensional and inconsistent test track my vote goes with what has to be the best and most completely engineered road car in the world. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. P.S. Did anyone watch the Megafactories program on National Geographic channel? It documents the production process of the 599 GTB through the Maranello factory. Amazing - what a sophisticated piece of machinery...
