Get a job, learn the value of a dollar and please get some formal driving training BEFORE you blow $500K of Daddy's money.

Showing off what you have on Newbury st. should be the least of your problems.

I would get the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid as your track car. I test drove it last week. Not quite as quick as a GT3 or F430 but it really shows it merits in Endurance events. Get the Limited version considering you have a lot of money "to blow", you get leather, telescoping steering wheel, and an Ipod aux input.

The GTR is a no-brainer, get one of those as your sleeper. Most people will not know what the hell it is until it blows their Ferrari's doors off on I5.

I would look at a Bentley if you want to cruise Newbury St. and radiate the impression that you are a rich, dumb, toff who has seen one too many episodes of MTV Cribs and has literally NO idea what is going on. My boss has a Continental GT and a Flying Spur, and he is a freakin' moron. But he does cruise Newbury St frequently. Quite radiantly I may add. I would wait and get the new Hyundai "super limo" out in 09. Looks better, nicer interior, true RWD, only 40K fully loaded, and you can't beat that 10yr/100K mile warranty!

The 2008 Saturn XR would be my choice as a "true" sports coupe. I drove it yesterday and was extremely impressed. It really is a sports coupe like Saturn themselves describe. Very tight handling. On a 40mph right handed bend the suspension only dipped 3inches. Very impressive dampening. The throttle response was excellent. Again it's not going to throw you back in your seat like a LP640 or CGT but 0-60mph came up in a very respectable 9 seconds and 50mph-80mph times were better than my Vespa. Interior is much improved and at only 22K loaded it will not eat into your budget too much.

Just my 2 cents and this is what I would do. Good luck with your car shopping.

I call BS! How old are you, do you even have a drivers license?

I live in downtown Boston, you want to meet up sometime and prove us wrong?

One more 'issue' with your post; have you ever driven a performance car in Boston/Ma? The roads are built more for a Hummer than a Ferrari. Also, daddy plan registering it in Ma and paying the state excise tax on your purchase? Rate is $25 on 1K valuation per year. That's 10K a year in auto taxes for a 400K car.

I don't know why some of you guys so serious about what I said is real or not. I just wanna some experience from you guys who has them, negative and positive opinion or advice about the cars, not about my life. 6speedonline.com is open for us discuss the cars , isn't it? If we won't meet each other in the future, I don't care who you are, also you don't care who I am, if we will meet, you gonna know, right? So why you are so serious?

Because they feel its absurd that you'd make a post about spending 500k on cars when 1. you don't know how to drive, and 2. its not your money.

You're right.........no one here knows you. In fact most people on here will never meet each other except for here online. But please look at the nature of your question. Its hard to take anyone seriously who comes here and asks such open ended questions without seemingly have done any research on their own. And all if not most of the information on all these automobiles are available whether here or in other sites online. Especially on a Porsche dominated site and not to even mention the Carrera GT as a viable option for that money............well it just doesn't lend well to your credibility.
