Ferrari F430 F1
Another screamer from the Italian automaker Ferrari.
(What a surprise, Ferrari makes fast cars...LOL)
The Ferrari F430 F1 replaced the Ferrari 360 around 2004.
The engine is a Ferrari/Maserati designed 4.3 L V8 that puts out 483 hp and 343 pounds of torque.
This gives the F430 a top speed of 197 mph, and allows it to blast through the quarter mile at 122.8 mph in 11.7 seconds.
The F430 retails for anywhere from $186,925 to $257,456 in the US.
There have been a few special versions produced like the F430 Spider, the F430 Challenge, the F430 GT2, the F430 GT3, the 430 Scuderia and the Scuderia Spider 16M.
Fuel economy for the F430 is around 11 mpg city, and 16 mpg on the highway.

The Ford GT
The world's 11th fastest production car, the Ford GT was built by the Ford Motor Company from 2003 to 2006.The Ford GT is powered by an all-aluminum 5.4L Modular V8 powerplant with a Lysholm twin screw-type supercharger.
The engine puts out 550 horsepower and 500 foot-pounds of torque.
This allows the Ford GT to run 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 in 7.4 seconds.
It also gives the Ford GT an 11.2 second quarter mile time at 131.2 mph.
Because it's electronically limited, the top speed is 212 mph.
And for a 200 mph + car, the fuel economy isnt all that bad, 12 mpg city and 19 mpg highway.
When they were new, they were going for around 120,000 dollars. But since production has stopped, you can probably expect that figure to go up.
