They aren't rare at all. I see at least one everyday and every other month or so I see fucking two in the same day. I talked to one guy and he said that the car was cool, but there is some excess wind noise at around 210 mph. Oh yeah, he also says that the thing is a freaking pussy magnet and I had to agree.

blah- i think he was joking, but i think you knew that and were screwing with him i'm guessing, forgot to add another to the list, the bmw z8, drove a few at work and the power is amazing but thats the only thing going for it as far as i'm concerned... but m-coupes are bad ass, drove one of the newest ones with the 315hp E46 M3 motor, he had quite a few Dinan bits on it, but the best of which was the supercharger, for a car somewhere between an accord and a ferrari's price tag that would be my choice, well that and a Z06 if i was actually in the market for something like that i'd be very torn between the M-coupe and Z06... but remembered a few more

*Lotus Elise
*Lotus espirit twin turbo
*BMW Z8
*1969 Corvette soft top, literally every single bolt on the thing was original and in show room condition and it had less than 1,000 original miles on it, it was on the same truck as a ferrari 360 modena challenge, so add that to the list too, the only car we got off the trailer though was micheal jordan's pretty much stock X5, i wonder if the 360 and vette were his too now that i think about it

That is one of my favorite cars.
I think if you've been out to Downtown Norfolk or The Oceanfront at night you have seen this car. That's probably the most exotic that I've ever seen. I also saw an old Ford GT-40 pulling into Waterside about two years ago, but I'm not sure if it was authentic or a kit car.

I can guarantee that the GT-40 it wasn't authentic. The real ones are collector cars and sell at the Barrot-Jackon auto-auctions for $500,000-$1,000,000. I've seen a white one w/ blue stripes on 64 going the other way.

Most exotic I've ever seen was a red enzo and Foriegn Cars Italia in Greensboro, NC where my parents live. There's also a Lambo dealer in the area too. They have Murcialagos and Gallardos in stock. They had an orange on and it was amazing.

Most exotic production car I've ever driven was Viper GTS. Most exotic car (kit car) was a Superformance Shelby Cobra replica with a Ford 460 c.i. big block with almost 600 horses! It only weighed 2400 lbs and had sidepipes, what an amazing ride.

Most exotic car I've ever raced was a Ferrari F-40. I was 16 and rockin' my Frod Probe GT! I was over by Dulles motor works (going out that way to play golf and Landsdown) and pulled into a gas station and there it was! It was two mechanics who had just done some work to it and were "testing" it =). I got out on the road with them and up to a red light. I reved on them and they laughed at me and reved it back at me. I told them to get on it and they obliged. It was technically a race becuase I gave that little v6 everything it had, but alas I didn't win.

This GT-40 that you saw out in Lynnhaven was it red and white if so i know that guy he lives over by salem high school i helped him work on that car ..... naw its not a real one but its still a bad ass and he races it all the time.. if you ever roll up on him give him a rev and i bet you will get a race out of it....
