Crossfire is cool, theres a guy not too far from where I live that has a crossfire AND a viper.

The Cadillac Sixteen is cool, but I would rather have the Bugatti Veryron for my 16 cylinder needs...

Quad-turbocharged, 1001 base horsepower, estimated 250 miles per hours.

yea but you're never gonna find a placve to get that top speed. thats' why I'd rather take the pure opulence and luxury of the cadillac.

Ferrari still dominates Formula 1 racing to this day. Ford got lucky with the development of the Gt40 and won the Le Mans in 1962 I believe, ending Ferrari's infinite winning streak. THe new Gt40 is actualy just simply the GT. the "40" comes from the height of the vehicle, but the new model is 43.2 inches high, so they just took the 40 part out of the name. and you need to be more specific on what you consider a "tune-up." you never need to upgrade a ferrari anyway, its pretty much pointless when you already have the best parts you can get for it. oil changes however, are very expensive, over $1,000 to do it, and you have to do it every 1,000 miles. Ferraris are very high matinence, theres no doubt about it, but I guess if you can afford one, it isnt really a problem anyway. THats why Im a fan of Aston Martin. even for the DB7, a 420 hp V12, you only need 1 oil change a year, which is less then a typical lexus or bmw.

Ill expect the Elise to go for about $35,000.
