How would you use it?
If I couldn't comfortably afford to buy two, I wouldn't buy one.
now, Snyde. don't be so quick to unsuspend disbelief.

for sure it wouldn't be a ferrari. as much as i have come to appreciate them, their sound, and their ability at the track, i'd buy.......a corvette and have it shipped to mallett for them to perform some magic but keep the look bonestock.

or a roock 650 turbo.

but for OEM cars, i think it'd have to be the ford GT. the enzo is too ugly (to me) and they missed their weight target, which for that amount of money, should not be rewarded. the carrera GT seems decent, but visually, it does not do it for me. it is a looker, but still plain at the same time. if it does well in racing, that might change my humble, small-minded opinion about it, though. the SLR is just plain stupid.
