The Ferrari Enzo is a F1 worthy car made in celebration on Ferrari's founder, Enzo Ferrari. it is just like a F1 car and it goes to 220 MPH. 399 were made as this car was to be made in limited numbers, it is the fastest street legal car Ferrari has ever produced, but since it is out of production, Lamborghini is on top again, but the spirit of the Enzo lives on in the Maserati MC12.

The Ferrari F50 is the successor to the F40. it was introduced in 1995 and it used F1 derived parts, making 500 Hp. It was made in limited numbers and production ended in 1998. A convertable and Coupe were available. This was Ferraris fastest street legal car, but it was topped by the 600 Hp Enzo.

The Saleen S7 is an american supercar that is built in the USA, and it has the potential to compete with the big dogs like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and it does it very well. It is still in production, as it is Steve Saleens biggest shining star, which is something new for Saleen, fianlly, a home made car, not a modded Mustang
Vector WX-3

Base Price planned to be $1,000,000
Power 1,000 bhp @ 5,800 rpm

the VEctor WX-3 is in a class by itsself. Designed by master designer Gerald Wiegert, this car served as the replacement for the W8. With 1,000 Hp and a top speed of 250 MPH this car can blow the doors off of a tank. inside it has a interior like a jet fighter with lcd screens and jet like levers. a convertable version called the WX-3R was built. Due to management issues production never got underway. When it comes to Supercars, this one pretty much takes the cake. Today Wiegert with the new Vector is developing a car called the WX-10, but I don't think it will match the WX-3. Supercars will come and go, but there will bever be another VEctor WX-3.
