supercars on the road

OMG that's almost like my Renault!

I saw a oldtimer parade going through my city this morning, but as usual I didn't have anything to capture some pictures...

I know those are not supercars but they are also rare

@xHaZxMaTx: hey if you like lotus elises/exiges you should come over here to VA and visit richmond. they have a dealer down there that has 3 red ones sitting on the lot.

saw a hummer H3 last night, really quite vehicle.. i expected it to be louder being an suv. yet again that white lambo countach drove down the road the other day. beautiful car, and i love those big spoilers that sit on the back of them. i've always wanted a countach seeing as how their production ended the year i was born.

The Exige I saw was red.

H3's aren't quiet, but nor are they loud. But if you want to hear a quiet car (

) find a gas/electric hybrid (Camry, Prius).

GTAVCBoy90 can you just post when you got something to say...

Cause posting stuff like: Nothing today is still spamming!

A few days ago there was a Ferrari 360 Spider in front of the store where I work. There are several expensive cars driving around where i live. but hardly see a car like a 360 in front of the store, still nice to look at

Yesterday there was a Corvette C6 at the mall, I know it is not a very special car in general but They are not sold as much here as they do in the US. (here they cost pretty much.
But we do have a dealership that sells corvettes, Hummers and cadillacs.

I saw a F335 Spyder when I was walking to my friend's house

Matt_N · Post by **Matt_N** » 16 Aug 2006, 19:51

Recently saw:

Ferrari F430 Spider: Drove by in the town I live, pretty rare because I hardly ever see exotics where I live, I see most on long journeys
Ariel Atom: Drove by the other way, very rare car
Lotus Exige: Saw on the motorway, it was in an amazing blue!!

Do u have a pic by any chance?......cuz I've never heard of one on the streets before.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 16 Aug 2006, 21:24

It was either the Stig or master m that had also seen one on the 'motorway.' I think they had a pic.

-EDIT-
I was master m, and he doesn't have a pic.

Oh well...Hearing it is good enough I guess!!

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 17 Aug 2006, 05:03

On the weekend, while at work, I got to see a convoy of Ferarris go by. I think it was a charity cruise or something, but either way, I saw a handful of F355s, F360s, and F430s, along with a couple of either Testarossas or 512TRs (they were a little too far away to tell which).

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 17 Aug 2006, 06:02

eh, nothing really the past few days. i don't know if you guys would consider an XLR an exotic or not, but that's the only thing i've seen close to an exotic recently...the funniest thing about seeing it was it's location - a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 17 Aug 2006, 09:12

-Ferrari (In Toronto while speeding past, couldn't tell which one, but it looked like a Modena)
-Porsche 911 GT2 (Edmonton at a rich apartment building where lots of hockey players live)
-Porsche 911 Turbo (Edmonton)
-Porsche 959 (Edmonton)
-Porsche Cayenne Turbo (Edmonton - I see it every day as I go to school)
-Porsche 997 Carrera S (Edmonton)
-Cadillac XLR (Edmonton)
-Corvette Stingray parked at Winners lol (Edmonton)
-Jaguar XKR parked next to the Stingray (Edmonton)
-A few Corvette C6s and C5s (All Edmonton)
-2 classic Bentleys (Both at the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore)
-Tones of BMW M5s and M3s (Singapore)
-A few BMW M6s (Singapore)
-Many BMW 7 series sedans (Singapore)
-2006 Mercedes Benz SLK (Parked at Future Shop)
-Brabus Mercedes SL 55 (Singapore)
-Countless Mercedes Benz S-Class Sedans (1 of which I rode in, all in Singapore)

Ain't too many of those I'd class as a supercar. Stingray? Lancer? Cmon..

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 17 Aug 2006, 13:48

actually i'd class a stingray as an exotic as any other corvette. just because they're american doesn't mean they aren't able to be classified as exotic. the new Z06s have 505bhp; 35 less than a murcielago, but also much more fuel efficient than a murcielago. speaking of which i did see a new Z06 today at the little car sales place up the road. bright white with tan leather interior and a 6-spd manual. beautiful car.

EDIT: here's some pics of it. i just went to the car dealers website for them. they want 48 grand for it. it's brand-spankin'-new.

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 17 Aug 2006, 13:54

Depends what your definition of a 'supercar' is, and at the least most of those cars are quite rare. And I would at least classify the Ferrari, Porsche 911 GT2, Porsche 911 Turbo, the Corvettes, the BMW M6s, and the Brabus SL 55 all as supercars.

A. Who said anything about American cars, specifically?
B. It's a helluva leap from a 60's Stingray to an '06 Z06.

It's certainly subjective. My definiton wouldn't include the BMW either.
