^ Exhaust note on a V8 Jag F-type=pure insanity. Heck even the V6 cars sound mean with lots of popping and snarling.

No it's the XK8 from Austin Powers "Goldmember"

In terms of purely aesthetics..

With about 11,000 sold in the United States, I think a stock Toyota Supra Turbo, with the wing is a mass produced exotic. Now I am talking about a stock looking Supra, not one of these damn cars that got riced the hell out in late 90's/early 2000's with the import tuner/fast n' furious craze. So many of these cars got molested that stock ones are stupid expensive now days.

For me, it would have to be a Ferrari 458 Italia. I have a friend who owns one. I have driven it more than once...

It is an insane car. Luxurious, but not even remotely subtle. Downshift to 3rd @ 80 and floor it, and before you can react you are sideways and doing 120+...Go ahead and ask me how I know.

I always have a soft spot for the R8 since it came out. Everytime I go to a meet, I always want to check these out.

For some reason I really like the 1st gen R8 a lot more than the current 2nd gen. Styling is better IMO, I also like that you can have a clutch pedal and gated shifter, even with the V10 model.

Try more like 1.5 million for a Ferrari F40 They are cheap for a collector Ferrari IMO, mainly because they made a ton of them(1,311 of them over a 5 year production run). Still a fantastic car, but not what I'd call a rare Ferrari. Only reason prices are even that high IMO is that it was the last car Enzo Ferrari signed off on. Not to mention it looks *****ing and is a completely different analogue driving experience compared to a modern Ferrari(its like driving an old prototype LeMans race car).
