What the hell? I thought this was in the cool wall already!?!

Anyways i've copied in a pargraph block from another forum which i wrote for the Zonda:

Subzero:

My love of the Zonda was created in 2003 when i first saw Top Gear's review of the vehicle, previously my favourite vehicle had been the Murcielago but when i saw this i was shocked. As i read on from reviews to sites i really respected the car's jet fighter design and the general company philosophy. To many a car is simply a car, but the Zonda is on another level in my mind. As i read on about the history of the Zonda i learned Horacio Pagani. I saw that he was a brilliant man, achieving his first job at Lamborghini in his mid twenty's. Horacio Pagani didn't create the Zonda as a money maker, he did it for Juan Manuel Fangio and that alone gives the car special grounds. I think what impresses most is how civilized the Zonda actually is; as AutoCar said the Zonda isn't about power, it's how you use the power and Pagani's supercar does this fantastically well. It's not a rough drive either, Pagani doesn't believe in "an engine with wheels", his vehicles had too be comfortable, well built, ergonomically designed and lastly easy to drive. The design of the Zonda had to be original but follow the traits of a Mercedes Group C race car, the end result today from the Zonda S to the Zonda F is startling. No car looks as good in my opinion; it's one of the craziest designs of the century. The interior couldn't be parts bin either; that's why most of the parts in the interior of the Zonda are specially built for the car. The detailing touches are on another level: wooden steering; shift lights; toggle switches; leather strap glove box. The Zonda shares all of those traits and we haven't even gotten to the performance. Mr. Pagani was able to rely on Mercedes-Benz for a V12 engine and in 2000 AMG game the 6.0 V12 a work over. Originally 7.0 litres AMG brought it to 7.3 and raised the redline to 7,000. It's already been quoted as one of the best engine's ever built, smooth and creamy but instant raw power on demand. It's such a spectacular engine too, big displacement, big horsepower and massive torque. I like the fact that the Zonda F is rather old fashioned too, while the body comprises of carbon fibre and the chassis from steel and carbon fibre the Zonda has no airbags. No specially designed 12 setting Limited Slip, no launch control and a simple 6 speed Manual transmission made by CIMA. It has what the driver needs, TC, AC, stereo and big Ceramic brakes. The Zonda is a hell of a performer though; it scored 75 points out of 80 in Sport Auto's supertest, top notch brakes, top notch flexibilty and top notch handling.

7:33 on the Nurburgring makes it special indeed 8)

Subzero. Well-balanced and near-perfect in all senses.

Subzero. Great looks, great performance, great sound and it doesnt hurt that Fangio had a role in the making of this car either.

I gave it a subzero because it's extremely exotic, but I almost knocked it down a notch for being in that butweiser commercial.
