That one is even worse: you get in through the top. Oof.

Interior is as basic as you can imagine...close to a NASCAR. It really is a race car more than a road car. Watching people try to drive it is amusing. If you aren't an experienced race car driver, that thing will likely kill you or at a minimum end up wrecked.

I'm not sure i feel about these "hyper cars" and such. They're cool to look at in pictures. The tech is pretty awesome on some of them.

But then you see them in person and realize you can't get a large soda through the window at the drive thru.

Gotta run & jump to get into this bastard. Wench (&melted butter) may be required to get out.

When i was a youngin' a did a video shoot for a company who had one of these Factory Five GTM's. They also had a C6 Zo6.

As cool as the GTM LOOKED, it was a ****ing piece of shit. Give me that factory Zo6 any day.

Yep, most of them are as impractical as they are exotic. That is why I like the Koenigseggs: they have the styling and incredible performance, but they are also comfortable and practical (well, as practical as a multi-million dollar supercar can be)

Another peeve of mine: Why do these cars always gotta be wrapped in suede? Ughhh....

IMO, suede just screams cheap, trendy and unimaginative.

First car was a 68 LeMans convertible with very rare (for a LeMans) dual gate automatic shifter:

My first car was a 1965 Pontiac Tempest Custom, White convertible. Was stolen while trying to sell it... I think I still have the keys... :) I loved that Car, but getting gas for it at that time was like needing a loan...

Side note: If i had to pick between Italians sports cars, im taking Ferrari ever Lambo every day of the week. Lambos look cool and all that, but when they're side by side they're night and day.

The fit & finish and luxury appointments in Ferraris are so far and above lambo's. Seems like every time i see a lambo in person it has some lame ass suede interior.

Meanwhile, Ferrari's be like, "dafuq, what they cover these seats in, Unicorn hide?"

I'm going to go on a bit of a different tack.

I'd take a Hennessey Motors Goliath 6x6
