I knew as soon as I got my 987bhp they would come out with a faster model.

Love the car and all but, my only complaint about alot of these new Super cars recently (Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes/MacLaren SLR, Veyron...) is they only come in auto transmissions. Ok so it's an automanual, what the heck is that? It's still an automatic. To me, unless it's got that 3rd pedal on the floor known as the clutch, It's an automatic. A true sports car to me has a stick and a clutch. JMO.
Yes I understand that a manual can't handle some of the horse power these cars are putting out (so the manufacturer claims anyway) but dammit, I say if we can put a man on the moon then why the heck can't we build a tranny that can handle a measly 1000hp.:035:

Zonda F and Carrera GT have proper gearboxes,they're a little more like drivers cars,still along way from a useable sports car though,too big and wide and low for real roads and not much use on a track either,they don't seem to have a real life use these ultra cars,not a road car,not a race car,pointless.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say pointless, I would say that the comfort level is not that great. I was fortunate enough to be able to drive a Lamborghini Diablo roadster a few years ago. Hands down the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. Would I own one? ABSOLUTELY!
These cars are only ment to be driven a couple thousand miles a year anyway.
