    Syncros add unnecesary weight as well. And what about brakes? Not only add weight, but they slow you down as well.

    lol, hand cranking is for the real men's man...

    I am with Kitdy, up to some point the stuff laden with the cars at that level using the manual will just be holding the cars back....You can't really "drive" the modern supercars in the same sense as older cars anymore. Sure you can turn traction control off, but in many cases you still have electronic diff, adaptive aero bits, adaptive damping, crazy AWD or whatnot...

    At any rate, this new Pagani looks funny on the front. The rear seems quite nice actually. The photos don't help neither as they used that low-level shot and just make not nose looks so much thicker with plenty of daylight underneath the car. Might not looks that horrible in person, but I've never seen the Zonda in person so I can't compare in that respect....

    I Have seen other pictures of this car, and i have to say i am growing on it. i still don't like the looks compaired to the Zonda but its not as bad as i thought it was when it first came out.

    you know how i said i hated this car, well it may seem odd but i have changed my mind now for some odd reson now i realy love it. i have seen some more picture in a magazine and seeing the car more up-close i now quite like the look. The Interior is nice but i prefer the one in the Zonda Cinque, the interior is Similar to the one in Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder. the engine is a work of art. now i love this car

    Horacio will be feeling quite relieved.

    I believe the correct euphemism is 'champagne'.

    Back to the gearbox thing for a second, is it the worst thing that happened for youse lot since the 911 went water cooled?

    the whole point of a v12 is that you dont need to mess around with forced induction to have a stunning powerband

    Yea, but if you do forcibly induce it you get an even stunninger one.

    because we bought a 18000 dollar super C3 in the same colour, of course. Horacio thought that to be a good idea too.

    Turbo, four wheel drive, automatic M cars based on SUVs are quite bad as well.
