Supercar or no supercar?
I was just sitting here and thinking, do you really want a supercar? I mean, once you drive it, all other cars will be too boring to drive. No more flooring it in your honda Accord and getting that rush feeling even though it is 0-60mph in 8 seconds. And then you don' thave the sensibility as a normal car. You won't have anywhere to put the groceries! Plus, the supercars are pretty big cars. They aren't as small as lets say an Audi A4 to weave through traffic. And again, once you drive a supercar, all other cars will be completely boring. so.....maybe I don't want a supercar if I ever had the chance to get one.....or maybe I just crazy......ya thats crazy talk. But just something to think about

my friend said he wanted a ferrari Enzo for his first car. I told him "That would suck, where the hell would u go from there!?!" When he bored of it, hed have what to choose from!?! A Mclaren F1, or a Porsche Carrera GT!?! it would completely suck. Personally, the only supercars I can see myself driving are the Ford GT, S7, and Mclaren SLR for a cruiser/bruiser. Id never want an Enzo, or mclaren F1, or carrera GT, or any ferrari/lambo for that matter. I could see myself driving a GT2 or GT3, but thats the highest end porshe id go... Id much rather take something thats fast for what it is and make it comparable to a supercar. I think its a lot more satisfactory building ur car up as you want it for years to make your "perfect" car, rather than buying someone elses "perfect" car and having nothing to upgrade.

That is like saying after driving a van your bike will get boring. Sure you aren't going to be able to do things in an Accord that you will do in a supercar, but the logic of that is weird... with a supercar why would you waste time and money on an Accord- basically what Skituner said.

I agree with gimp.When i go bike racing down some hills that i get up to 70k i still have a shit load of fun going down a 60k hill.der are so many things to keep you happy in an enzo.My only problem is,The enzo is my favorite car.If i owned one 70% of my day dreaming about cars would be gone,But i guess i would be thinking about the next time i will drive it instead.

i c ur point but i dont think it could happen to me, cause he only difference is that instead of thinking about the supercar i would b driving it, and u can always do something to a car, well at least me there is not a perfect car, there is always something to do, or u can always buy a car uve always wanted and mod it

lol wow...didn't expect many posts as this got! I was kinda just joking. I would love to have a ENzo or Carrera GT. A new one would come out and it would be faster then that until they start to just make electric cars where we won't be able to go fast and then it will do all the driving where we just have to sit in the car and it takes us there. SO I say, Have fun while it lasts!

for practical reasons, if i owned a supercar, i would also own a "practical" performance car like a BMW M3 for everyday use. that way, going to the grocery wouldn't be much of a problem, and i don't think it will be a bore to drive as well.

i dunno, if you can afford an enzo, you could probably drive a GT2 everyday.

actually some supercars are quite small. i personally consider the Gallardo a supercar, and having been up close and touching it and all, i have to admit its tiny in person. if you put a Jaguar S-Type next to the Lambo the Jag looks like a monster truck  So i'd image that would be quite easy to go through traffic.

The only supercar I want is the Ferrari F50.
otherwise I won't own a supercar. Too expensive, too big (incompatible with the real roads). A TVR Sagaris or a T350C would be perfect. Or a GT3 but not a Ferrari CS (paddle-shift, I want to change gear myself)
A little car, powerful, light. This is for me the way to enjoy. How can I have fun in a road with a car like an Enzo?too big. Someone would say: use it on the track! But in a track I would be faster with a Radical.
Sorry but I don' like supercars. Only F50
