The Countach is an amazing car. So typical of an exotic in its looks and driver position.

Yeah, that scale model shows what 'could' be done.
Kaz some new pics please...
A guy on another forum I frequent is getting his 360 Spider done up with full Novitec Rosso gear. Pics to come soon.
I've actually driven the Enzo you spotted in TO once, there's 1 and my friends father owns it(lucky girl). I got a picture of me with the 1 Carrera GT that you picced (there's again only one in TO) It resides in Yorkville like all the time. I asked nicely and got to sit in it outside the 4 seasons. I'm such a crazed car junky.
You also have to remember, there's a Ferrari/Maserati and Rolls Royce Dealership on Avenue. Not to mention there are Ferrari, Lotus, and Lambo dealerships not 15 minutes from my house in Thornhill. Toronto is no slouch city with over 150,000 millionaires in ontario alone.
Not to mention my coke dealing neighbours have been sporting Ferrari Spiders and Lamborghini Diablos since I was six.
Most fun I've had driving though was in a Porsche GT3 that thing is wicked fast and painfully unrefined just the way it was meant to be done. Throw you around like a mexican jumping bean without ever really going beyond it's limits. (300kph top end and a zero to 100kph in 4.2) Ya the Enzo's faster but it's not as violent.
Top 5
1. Porsche Carrera GT - The dream, we're allowed to dream!
2. MINI Cooper S Works (my baby)- No more fun could be had
3. BMW M5 - Full sized sedan w/500+ hp 5.0L V10, 7spd SMG tranni
4. Pagani Zonda F - So outrageous, like the 80s never happened
5. Ferrari F-40/Ferrari 250 GTO - 2 best Ferraris ever!!!

It's too busy... Like it tried too hard Ferrari's shouldn't need to try.
Ahhh...thanks for the Zonda F...quite the sigh of relief...I needed that.
And I would normally be totally against touching an Italian supercar but that skirt package and OMFG brake calipres are in good taste. Can't say much for the change in brakelight covers...I hate the cheezy white on all cars except for the SLR...and whatever other exotic has them stock (i.e. worked in with the original design).
Some of my friends come over just to look at my car picture collection. Entitled "The best from Germany, Italy and Britain". But I'm damn picky. Every now and then I get "why isn't there an STI in there" look at the bloody title. Japan hasn't put out a truly respectably designed car since the RX-7, Supra, 787B... The RX-8 is a decent place holder, but nothing from japan is making it into my collection quite yet.
You obviously haven't seen the HSC concept car from Honda yet...next gen NSX...deserves your attention...(don't fight it biatch)...
Ahhhhh....TRANCE PURPLE....
Anything else you want to add about Japan? LOL!!! 
If it comes out badged as a Honda I might even buy it!!!! But I don't want a dumbed down American Acura version... *glares* Regardless, if the Japanese can put together more than 1 car that could rival the Germans/Italians, both in design and performance they will make it into the collection. I wait with bated breath!
Autobacs Sportscar Laboratory's Garaiya.
1750 lbs, 201bhp, 6-spd manual, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive... Powered by a Nissan SR20DE (note: not turbocharged) engine. Such an awesome car.
HOWEVER, over any other car on the face of the earth, even the Enzo or Murcielago or Zonda or Carrera GT; for sheer driving pleasure, nothing beats the Ariel Atom.
A close second is the Westfield Megabusa. A Lotus 7 clone body, but with a Suzuki GSXR1300 Hayabusa motorcycle engine under the hood.

The next NSX will not be badged as a Honda. I don't see what the big deal is. It's the exact same car as it is in Japan, but with an Acura badge on it.
What's the problem? So what, we don't get the NSX-R. The NSX here is already so overpriced it's fucking ridiculous, an R wouldn't sell very well, if at all, since you could get 5 times the car for the same money.
Superformance makes a way way better version of the Lotus Super 7, called their ZR1 Roadster or something to that effect. If you're daring you can fit a 3.2L I6 M3 Engine into it. 1200lbs+333hp= deathbox, but it will be fun filling that coffin
The current NSX is sooo overpriced here... like 150-160k... for 290hp??? you've gotta be totally insane not to drop the same money on a Porsche GT3 with the PCCB brake option (+10k). Not to mention there are less GT3s as there are only like 700 2004s in NA. Oh and porsche rapes Acura/Honda left right and center in every way/shape/form.
^^^^Honda salutes you...
I'd buy a well-used F355 for that kinda dough...just to have that badge in my garage and that exhaust note in my aresenal would be a lifelong fantasy come true...however I still want to build my Honda portfolio...just because of my commitment to that brand and all the affordable pleasure (thus far)...Civic SiR, Prelude, S2000 next and then the NSX...THEN I would want to move on to greener pastures...like the M3 or something silly like a Porsche b4 I go for the F-bomb...there's my wishful thinking for the day...

Dude you don't see NSXs because for the price I could find 20 better cars easily. They suck, they look decent but I see them all the time on the allan and we blew the doors off one in a 700hp 93 RX-7 (may it rest in pieces, buddies RX-7 was notorious for blowing up on the Dyno, so notorious in fact that it was stripped down and sold for parts, his Honda Accord just isn't the same 
)... The look on "Mr. 30 something I'm so special I drive a "supercar" " was priceless. Although it was the same look we got from the police when we did it on the 400... Apparently they don't always bother chasing you down.
Of course you blew the doors off one in a car that has over twice as much power. Come on now. Stock for stock I would assume that an NSX would take an FD RX-7.
I'd still buy a used one for their appeal. Gorgeous supercar looks, Honda reliability, relatively light weight, perfect interior ergonomics, and they love Comptech superchargers 
They're just so fuckin sexy.
Then again, FD RX-7s with LS1s are sexy too, if not a sacrilege...
But small, my 6'2 houselike frame doesn't agree with tiny japanese interior. Ze germans seem to make their cars for the obviously superior (taller) people lol.
My next car is going to be a porsche 944 S2... Definitely the best track/tuner car ever if you've got the cash for maintenance and parts on a porsche... car = 25k, yearly maintenance 5k... Insurance for a 20 year old = 10k.
Note: next doesn't mean soon

, don't fit in a Z4, but I fit like a glove in an NB ('99-05) MX5 Miata.
I squeezed myself into a Z4 once, wasn't too bad... Now I got into a TVR Chimera once and needed help getting out... The new TVRs thank god are made for everyone, thanks in part to new ownership (the new owner is seriously tall).
