'67 427 L88 is quicker. Original 427 AC Cobra is quicker

Yeah, so is the Bugatti Veyron and the Koenigsegg CCX that I posted earlier - but I like the KTM for two reasons... one, it only weighs 700 kilos, which is only about three times as much as my bike (with a dry tank) and two - it is made by a bike company. 馃槑

I'd give my left nut for a Hayabusa...
They are gorgeous bikes.
I have Kawasaki Ninja, a GPZ 900 - she is 17 years old, but still in absolutely mint condition. I love her to bits, and I'd never trade her in - but sometimes I really wish I had the money to buy a newer superbike...

I like Porches more than Ferraris, I dunno why. If I had the money, I wouldn't buy a Porche or a Ferrarri, though - not for performance. I am sure they are great cars - it's just a personal preference - I think I've been watching Top Gear too much, and Jeremy Clarkson has brainwashed me 馃槢 The Porche I like most, at the moment, is this one, just for the looks:

Yeah, but on the other hand: There are quite a few cars faster than the Lambo...
And while I think the Lambo i pretty in the same way that a rocket ship is pretty - it's not something I want to go buying my groceries in. I think that is why I prefer Porsche to Ferrari as well - a Porsche, I feel, is something you can go to work in during the week, buy your groceries on the way back - and then on weekends, you can let your hair down and go flying down a twisty road, or take the top off and let all the pretty girls glance at you as you drive by...
The Ferraris and the Lambos are just too specialised, in my opinion. They are too low, too impractical - you cannot go to work in them every day, pick the kids up, buy the groceries, take the dog to the vet - as a third or fourth car - definitely. As a gift, definitely. To go out on a Sunday on the open road - definitely.
But my ideal car must perform well, look good AND be practical - I want it to be something I can use as my main form of transport - I want it to be something I literally want to live in and never get out of.
That is why I like the Aston Martin or for something less expensive, the Audi - bot of which I posted earlier.
And if you want to talk about speed - I still favour the Bugatti Veyron, which I also posted earlier. Is it just me or does it look exactly like the BATMOBILE is supposed to look? 馃槢
