This Monday. Just watched it on DVR. Clarkson did a cool skid pad test, and his face was pulled to one side. Looked like a stroke.

43% owned by Renault. Nissan has 15% of Renault stock.

Badmofo fo sho. Seems like the car can drive itself. How fun is that? Guess that depends on the individual. You'd probably feel like superman after driving one of these. As far as looks, they are much better in person, they have a muted but commanding presence. They're kinda huge. Don't make much noise, I had one blow by me on the freeway once and it was actually not that loud. I like them and think they are incredibly capable, but it's not my cup of tea... at all.

With some scratch you can have it all. The F458 is at or above the ZR1 for performance (depending on what you're doing) and is simply a different universe of elegance, refinement, fit and finish, etc. The greatness of the American muscle car, and the Vette as sports car, is the level of performance it puts within the reach of the working man.

But i have no ability to work on a ferrari, besides, head work, cam, intake and exhaust will net well over 650rwhp for not a whole lot of coin. I'd rather go that route.

There was a Lingenfelter H&C kit that took the ZO6 to 630~ BHP, 650 WHP would be OVER 200 HP above stock on the same displacement; nearly 50% increase in WHP(!!!). The cam would have to be absurd, making it stupid to drive on the streets. A procharger kit,etc., would be the better way to go to maintain sensible street manners.
Now I'm going to say something crazy, and maybe it's because I'm a grown up now, there really is more to life in a car than WHP.
