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.

The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

The limited-production, hand-built, high-performance Saleen S7 Twin Turbo was Saleen's first car not based on an existing design.
It was completely developed digitally using tools such as Unigraphics and Rhinoceros 3D.
It may have been born on a computer, but it came to life on the track.
The heart of the S7 is a 427.6 cu inch all-aluminum OHV V8 engine, upgraded with two Garrett turbochargers producing approximately 6 psi of boost.
This gives the S7 750 horsepower and 700 lb·ft of torque.
What does this translate into on the track?
0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, 0-100 in 6.2 seconds and 0-200 mph (yes, 0-200) in 27 seconds.
This also allows the S7 to blast through the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds and gives it a top speed of 248 mph.
And get this, in 2006, Saleen offered an optional competition package for the S7 Twin Turbo that put the engine output up to 1000 horsepower!
How much will this land rocket set you back?
Around $585,296.
