I know these modern, low-slung mid-engine Italian things with all their little cylinders and cams and fuel injectors and turbo chargers are the bees knees on the winding road, but for pure, unadulterated sex on wheels...
And it sounds like a half-dozen Harleys singing harmony. Pax Americana, baby.

Northstar- the blue color emulates the traditional blue of the Bugattis of old, and i believe, was the 'national' color for racing in France. Me, I'd much rather see a pre-war Bugatti, a pre-war Alfa and throw in a 20's Bentley hot-rod just to make it interesting. I've lost my interest in modern 'supercars' as such. As technological exercises, they are pretty cool. Driving them is almost beside the point, since, at least in the case of the Veyron and Lambo, you are talking about big, heavy boats. I had my share of these types of cars over the years, and I find the older more primitive cars far more interesting, both to drive and to admire.

289's cool; 427's scary. Real cobras, cool. Kit cars, bad. Real AC's are cool too. I'd have one even if it didn't have a Cobra badge on it. And not to bust your balls, Tim, but the car that was the basis for it was from Ye Merry Olde Englande.
The Nads are safe enough, I know the original coaches were Brits. I still like them much better than the Cobras built on Mustangs. The are the visual bomb. And the 427? Can you say copious torque? Crude compared to a Bugatti or a Lambo, but consider the source. This is me on my way to senior prom:
