That somehow makes me want to rip out that F14 Tomcat over the water picture and say look what I pulled into work in today

Option five please!!!
Did you guys notice the "get low monthly payments" under the 1,095,000.00 price tag? LMAO Okaaaaaaaay...
Of the first three, I'm not sure... it's almost like apples and oranges, definately 5 or 3.
What about the fastest production car ever (faster than Enzo and McLaren)...

EDIT: the one you posted is a special Nismo Z-Tune... does that count as production car?
Anyway, is it really faster than the F1??

10.09sec 1/4
Not only is it fast in the str8's... it's based off the JGTC GT500 skylines, so it will attack the track as well as the str8's. Only 20 of them were built though...

As far as track racing, F1 GTR debuted in LeMan with great success (I believe it took 1st, 2nd and 4th overall).
And McLaren F1 is the first car that prompted the 0-100mph-0 test.

But it is supposedly faster and has experience in the 24 hours of Nurburgring.
Wasn't the Shelby Cobra the car that prompted the 0-100-0mph test?

mostly because of its creator Gordon Murray 
His amazing MP4/4 Formula One car (1988) is one of the greatest race cars of all times IMO.
I have YET to have the honour of seeing a F1 in person, let alone being smoked by one 
The most special and has to be one of the rarest cars I have seen is the BMW M1. It was being driven gently on the street of Greater Vancouver. If Mrs. 05_TSX_GP wasn't in the car with me, I would definitely have followed it and have a chat with the guy in it!

I've never seen an M1 but it's definately the most beautiful BMW ever. "A man has his will, but a woman has her way!" Too bad she was in the car at that moment in time... lol Maybe next time...
The McLaren I saw had Massachusettes plate/s so I highly doubt I'll ever see that or any of 'em again. I saw him at night... he was going the opposite way on Mulholland. I noticed HID's coming up and I couldn't recognize the car by the headlights. I thought it was a Ferrari as it passed. I busted a u-turn and caught up with him just before he turned right onto Beverly Cyn. We ended up catching a red light and lo and behold I was sitting behind a McLaren F1. I turned the Camcorder mounted to my passenger headrest on while he toyed with me for a while. As soon as a pretty long str8 came up all I heard was that amazing V12 open up and the tailights fading rapidly...
A thing of beauty!

That car is so sweet...i've seen those things all over recently and the only problem is everyone is always driving them like fucking virgins
Man that reminds me 1 night after driving driving back from SoBe I was cruising home on the 95 doing about 90 and I look in my mirror and see 2 sets of HIDs behind me I think nothing of it because I'm in the fast lane then the next thing I know I hear the scream of 2 hi-po engines. SL55 and a silver Bentley GT fly by me atleast at 115 probley faster. Those 2 sure as hell weren't driving like virgins.

You guys might think I'm just saying this because of this post, but really I'm not. And it really struck me this morning when I saw it and then came back when I read this post.
On my drive in to work today I saw TWO! new Bentley GT's within a half mine of each other. This was driving thru Gladywne PA where there is some money around. I was passing thru from my "poor" neighborhood
toward the highway. On a side note, one of my son's friends lives about 1/2mi from there and used to live next door to A Iverson of the 76'ers but a while back he moved to a bigger house ...Alan that is. I don't usually see Bentley GT's around here they still seem kinda rare, even though Aston Martin's, Ferrari's, a Porsche GT3 and a GT2, two different M-B SL55AMG's one wiht an attractive babe driving etc seem more common.
PS: I didn't race either GT since I was driving my daily beater '89 Acura Legend today which still runs like clockwork ...a bit of a rusty clock but still ticking fine.

My favorite Bimmer, too. Don Rosen BMW in Bala Cynwyd about a mile from my house often has his white M1 sitting in the front display window. And a few times I've come across it driving around in the area. Once I was in my Supra with my two boys and came upon it and out of respect, I just cruised by admiring it with a thumbs up and quick lesson to the boys on a truly classic BMW. It looks very clean from what I've seen, but I noticed a little oil burning smoke out the exhaust.
