Supercar Hypothetical

As long as we are dreaming I'd like one of these. Or a GNX.

Lotus esprit v8tt with mods. I'm a simple man, and like to be different.

Yep, the only thing my roommate ever replaced in ~18 months of used Gallardo ownership was an oxygen sensor. He looked-up the Audi part # and went to Autozone and got one for $60.

You and that roommate are of a different breed, however. To the average "car guy" what you're describing would be next to impossible to understand with cross referencing part numbers and such. They'd rather take it to a dealer and take it square up the ass.

I really want to build a Factory Five '33 coupe when I get out of school. The one in Hot-Rod a few months back that Air Ride/Ridetech built made my brain itch.

As soon as I read the OP, this was the exact car I was thinking of. I found it online when I was thinking FFR Cobra or 33 but I settled back on my current car.

Those Gran Turismos sound so fucking nice. I drove a customer's when we detailed it once, a whole like 50 feet. :|

Easy, a Maserati Gran Turismo. A Ferrari with a touch of elegance and seats 4, but still in coupe form.

Nice!

That's the first XJ220 I've seen without the godawful factory wheels!

Wheels are better, but what's with that tire fit? What are those on the back, 225's?

I wonder what it would cost from a dealer.

No idea, probably a shitload. I know most of the DIY type Lambo owners just cross-reference the Audi part # and get the maintenance items such as brake pads, oil filters, etc from the Audi dealer or parts store.

I've looked into the cost of an R8, average yearly maintenance costs from what I've seen owners post is in the 2500/yr range.
