Well, it was in a Pantera. Hockey player. Tim Horton. Yes - the coffee empire....

150+ mph on the road, then airborne - what a mess....

If you change careers be comfortable in the knowledge that at least you won't have to change yer screen-name

Wow , I like the black one. 1rst Black Pantera in the link below that is.

Motley crue, a member killed his passenger in one of those as well, -who was another member of the band. That's who I was thinking of. Deadly car! Damn!

I'd take the Ford GT– no doubt. An absolutely incredible car that's relatively cheap at $150,000 for a used 2005. The Carrera GT is in another league in terms of price, not necessarily performance, but they are awesome for sure. Well over $400,000 when they were new, they still go for well over $300,000 on the used market.

Both are nice cars, but that Porsche sounds bad ***. I would take it any day.

It's funny, exotics don't do much for me. Best sounding vehicle IMO is Eleanor.

I with you. I've got a brother-in-law up in Dallas who has gone through a long string of glamour cars over the years, from Porsche's, to BMW's, to Mercedes. Whenever he shows me his latest acquisition out in his garage, all I can think is, "You paid how much for this thing?!"

If he gave me one, I couldn't get an ad placed in the newspaper fast enough so I could sell it and go buy something I actually wanted.....

About the only vehicle he's had over the years that interested me in the least was a late-80's Jeep Wagoneer that he bought as his "dog hauler" when they became trendy cars to have amongst the shallow, social climbing set......

Exactly man. All I would want is my truck finished and blown, a 04 terminator cobra and an edge or something to drive for the winter. I could have all that for less than one of those stinking things

Wow, that's fast and I didn't know that. We have Tim Hortons everywhere around here. Sad way to go, it doesn't seem right.

I've been that fast, on a rural road no less (157 mph), with family ,-cousins brother in the car. Just lucky nothing happened, glad I had a red light just ahead and coming fast. Stupid, plain stupid.
