The Ferrari F430 is a beautiful car. With great body lines a powerful engine and that signature Ferrari exhaust note you can’t help but be drawn to this car. With a rear mounted 4.3 litre V8 pushing 483 horsepower and 343 ft/lbs of torque. That is clearly enough to slam you back in your seat and get adrenaline pumping through your body. Acceleration is astounding from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds flat and a maximum speed in excess of 195 mph. As well as an increase in performance. New aerodynamics provide even greater down force, with 616 lbs generated at 186 mph. To stop this beast of a car the Ferrari comes with carbon ceramic disc brakes inspired by the Ferrari formula 1. Another formular 1 inspired option is the paddle shifters that halve change times compared to that of the Ferrari 360. All in all this car is one to walk the walk and talk the talk. Any job you give it will be taken care of.

The Bentley Continental GT Speed is what is says power, speed, and agression. With another 48 horsepower extracted from the twin-turbo W-12 to make 600 net, and another 74 pound-feet of torque making 553 net, and a 60-mph time of four seconds flat, they should have called it the Continental GT Whupass. The Bentley Continental needs more power like a whale needs white Nikes. It’s not often that a 5000 pound car can smash a quarter mile in 12.5 seconds at 114 MPH or run a claimed 202 MPH or stopping from 70 to 0 in 162 feet with the $16,500 option of carbon ceramic brakes. The Bentley air intakes are wider and the black chrome grille more upright. Sporting gentlemen are enticed by a lowered suspension on stiffer springs and anti-roll bars (the four button-adjusted shock settings are enough to calm road bouncing). Fine-slotted 20-inchers wear Pirelli P Zeros, and the steering is retuned for quicker response. The Continental Speed has less muffled pipes to give it a louder roar but The Speed amazes for what it doesn’t do. squeal through a tight hairpin when thrown in like a Lotus Elise, fade its brakes when pounded on a track like a Porsche, let wind deflect its awesome straight-line charges (acceleration is still enthralling from 100 to 150), or otherwise heed the laws of physics. The Bentley Continental GT Master-Butt-Kicking MoFo. No? The base price of this Bentley is $206,285 but goes up from there. The engine is a twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 48-valve W-12, aluminum block and heads, port fuel injection. It has a six speed automatic with manumatic shifting which is great for this type of car. Aside from all the power and beauty this car gets a EPA of 10 MPG in city.

The Honda S2000 is a fun sporty car that people like to drive. The Honda has a 2.2 litre four cylinder that pushes out 237 horsepower and 162 foot pounds of torque. This power is driven to the rear wheels through a six speed close ratio manual transmission. Even with this cars small size and small engine it gets 18 mpg in city. Both trims of the S2000 come with a power-operated soft top, a glass rear window with a defroster, 17-inch alloy wheels, xenon HID headlights, leather seats, full power accessories, air-conditioning and a CD player. With the CR, you also get more aggressive body styling (with spoilers that are hard to miss), fabric seats, a sport-tuned suspension and high-performance tires. The S2000 is a great car for around town but for long trips the road noise can get to you if you are not willing to cope with it. In the end this car is a great bang for your buck type of vehicle.

The Viper is a car that has true power and true muscle. Even with the car off it just looks mean, fast, and ready to drive. If you thought the regular Viper SRT-10 was a powerful car you will be in complete shock when you drive the new 2008 Dodge Viper. The regular SRT-10 pushed 510 horsepower out of the V10. The new Viper slams 600+ horsepower out of a 8.4 litre V10 to the steam roller rear tires. The transmission has been improved to make it more precise and less trucklike in action. Also the Viper comes with non-run-flat Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, which are lighter and more responsive than the previous run-flat tires. It comes with a larger hood scoop, more aggressive hood vents and three different wheel choices. When the Viper was put up against the 2007 Corvette Z06 the Viper came out with better acceleration, top speed, braking, and handling. The 2008 Dodge Viper even is compared to cars costing twice as much as it. If your wanting something fast, mean, and a amazing car the Viper is what you need to look at.
