The most expensive one, since out of those choices, I'd resell and buy something more practical...

If it were just a car to enjoy for the day, i think I'd take the F1 out.

But if you were giving me the keys to keep, I take the most expensive one (Veyron?), and sell it for an NSX and a garage full of more practical vehicles.

If it's just for a drive, i'm gonna have to say veyron, most impressive to friends that don't know cars. I would really really want to take out a zonda F though.

If you were giving me the car it would be the Macca, simply because it will be worth more than any of them in 5 years, the Ferrari will hold value as well but probably be worth 200-300K less than the F1 in 5 years.

If it were the keys for the day it would be the Enzo, it is the best vetted of the bunch outside the F1 and I personally couldn't exploit the F1 since it has nothing in the way of electronic nannys AND has brakes that the pros have issues with (and non ABS), I could have much more fun in an Enzo without putting it in a ditch.

If I just get to hold the keys (as could be construed from the post) I would need to see the keys first...

They still haven't tested the 1000HP TT IC version of the S7 AFAIK. Plus the Veyron is a pig at close to 4200lbs., while the S7 weighs only 2900 lbs.

The F1s that sell seem to stay over 1 million, my bet is the Bug depreciates over the next few years. The F1 is one of the few super-supercars that has held value well in the medium term, usually nothing but Ferrari super-supercars do that. The Enzo will hover between 800 and 1mil, the F1 will hover just over 1 mil and I think the Bug will drop from its 1.25 current price point. Other cars will get faster and it will loose its luster, since no one that has driven it thinks it is the second coming of sports cars (just a super fast ultra GT) as they still gush about the Macca and the Ferrari is a limited edition well Ferrari, therefore enough said. Look how well the prices of the 288 GTO, F40 and F50 have stayed high.

The 1000HP S7 will likely be quicker but unlikely it will be faster, IMHO.
