So, given that your Ferrari Series games, the 1970-89, the 1990-99, and the 2000-09, are in my top six favoritegames on Purposegames.com, (Paulfunl's Marx bro.s game just beats out the 1970-89 for 5 place) Congratulations and a Nod.

I think I comment too much on you page. Do you agree?

Well, the Mclaren F1 is still near cutting edge status in the Car world, I mean, when you remember that Ferrari has yet to make a car that outperforms the Mclaren in terms of top speed. But it set the shape for midengined sportscars, in general. It could be called the stereotypical midengine design. The Saleen S7 can be traced to the Mclaren, the SSC Ultimateaero can be traced to it in design, even the Enzo has some similarities in design. But the thing I like the most, is it's three seat cockpit. Certainly the Koenigsegg, Bugatti or SSC are faster, but only Koenigsegg (in my humble opinion) looks better.

Alright, you have me there. I don't tend to study marques like the Mini, as only the John Cooper Works edition is actually interesting to me. But, I have heard quite a bit of argumentation over what nationality Bugatti cars are at this point, as in the Veyron, some saying France, some saying Germany, and a few saying that it is somewhere else. I don't remember.

Glad to find out that I am not the only one who knows about B Engineering. :) In reality, though, they are just highly tuned and reskinned Bugatti EB 110s, so I agree, they don't quite belong there. But, If you think about it, Pagani was founded by a Chilean, not an Italian, and so you could argue that Pagani also fails to meet the requirements for that game. Why don't you make a game about One-off's, like the Piper P3-4 Enzo, the Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, etc?

Hey, check out the Four Corners game, inspired by a game by Wentu about three Corners or more intersects between state lines in the US. My most recent game.

You might like the game Sportive cars. It only has 9 cars, but the Veyron and the S7 and the Enzo are all included.
