Probably because all of these cars are like $250,000+, except for maybe the Fisker but I'm not sure what that costs.

I always find this quite amusing:

You want tyres for a Buga-wha? (http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/auto/auto_TS_resultCar.jsp?tyreSelectorType=car&marquePreSelected=BUGATTI&marque=BUGATTI&gamme=EB+16.4+VEYRON&modele=EB+16.4+VEYRON&cylindree=8.0&annee=04%2F2004-0%2F0&saison=S)

Oh, and those bespoke (metric!) Veyron tyres will set you back 25,700 Euros a set.

Holy hellish Gods of fury thats alot of money for tires!!!!!!

i wonder if they'd use the excelero tyres

wonderful display very nice cars, but having those car is like saying "We make the perfect tyres for cars you can't afford."

michelin wins. i was in a factory about 10 mins away from my house with my uncle who works there and they had a huge display in the middle for the tires on the veyron

Bugatti Veyron:
F 265/35R20
R 365/35R21

Fulda Exelero
295/40ZR20 or
315/25ZR23

Looks like a "no" then.

DAMN NICE...but IMO the fisker doesnt deserve too be with the others...N im from denmark myself...would rather see the SLR there....or maybe even an edonis...

Yeah, would definitely prefer seeing something along the likes of a Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo, but hell, I'm not gonna complain. :)

Now that is some collection!!!

The Fisker and RUF seem out of place, but they're still gorgeous.

The Caparo looks like an anorexic model.

The Saleen and the F1 are probably my favourites... the others do almost nothing for me!

i hate to add to all the non sensical comments but,
Damn that a nicew collection, i wonder if i could be able to pull off a heist for all those cars.

Why is the Caparo sat all on its own? FWIW, I'd swap the S7 for an Enzo and the Fisker for just about anything, probably SLR or CGT. Other than that, not a bad collection of kit.

If I could have an hour in any of them, I'd probably take the F1 or the Caparo.

Ah, c'mon. I was never a big Zonda nomenclature freak.

Ouch! Awesome. Stunning. Amazing. BTW, is't the SEMA a ricer show?

No. It started as a show for companies like Vortech, Saleen, NOS, Bilstein, etc... to show off their latest and greatest aftermarket pieces. Only recently have visual component companies started attending.
