Default The Ferrari F40 is the quintessential supercar

0-60 in 3.2, 200mph top speed (this was in what 1987?), 2000lbs, twin turbo 3.0v8, no radio, no carpet, no bullshit.

Discuss.

And next in line for coolest supercar ever, is the Konigsegg CCR. 240+, 850bhp, and those kickass doors.

This car right here(Konigsegg CCR. 240+, 850bhp) Is trash. the McClaren beats it in every aspect cept for the 2mph diff in top end speed. and hp.. Plus the McClaren has won the LeMans.
Ferrari Sucks

The Mclaren F1 is a trash supercar. Even the owners of it say it handles like crap, doesnt stop worth a shit. It's only saving grace, is that it runs 240mph. The Mclaren F1 road car is nearly NOTHING like the Mclaren F1 race car. The Konigsegg CCR has 850bhp, runs the 1/4 in 9.xx@148mph, Tops out at over 240mph, hell the CC8 (the 600bhp version) tops out at 240mph. Not to mention it handles and brakes easily as well as the Mclaren.

As far as Ferrari sucking, no, not hardly.

Konigsegg CCR I poersonally think this is an ugly car. And how many McClaren owners do you know, that say it handles like crap.

What makes you say the Koenigsegg is trash? Have you ridden in/driven one?
I think that you can ask Shawn to provide a basis for his arguments, you must have a foundation for your own.

The Konigsegg CCR is badass only because it uses a Stack 8130.

The Porsche Carrera GT is the next quintessential supercar of today's times... imho.

Good point. Reviews online & magazines can only take you so far.
