They'll still be insanely expensive either way, not something I'd be able to afford in a while even with a high salary job.

Should i change my DP?
Assets > Liabilities
If you believe in delayed gratification, than you could buy one of these cars in cash if you invested your income pretty well. Shares, property or whatever suits you, unless you want to take a loan out for a car and still be paying it off after you have sold the car lol.
Ferrari FF on carsales at the moment for around 400k ish, how much are they retail? Something like 600k +. It has under 2000km on it, shows you how bad the depreciation is on these things.

Even if you saved up you'd be raped on insurance and servicing and repairs

Think about it logically, if you were in a position to pay cash for a supercar, do you really think those costs would be significant?
Btw, i don't mean "save up", saving your money in term deposit won't get you far.
that is probably the ugliest ferrari i've seen in my life

The design of your car exposes your status. Ferrari 458 Italians (in red color), my favorite car. Looking simple but nice car. Love it!!!

You've got the whole prestige thing happening with driving a Merc, along with 661 horsepower at your feet...
The engine in the Sl65 amg actually makes more power than 661BHP but its limited by the computers, otherwise the chassis wouldn't be able to support it.
Definitely not a sleeper though, it does like to make itself heard.

Yeah, if you were going for prestige I think a c63 or something would be more practical and still fast.
I don't buy the chassis story, plenty of people making massive power in jap/American/Aussie cars and the chassis' hold up fine. But if they meant the car/chassis couldn't effectively put any more power to the ground or it'd be undrivable I'd believe that. If not id say its just been detuned so the engine or drive train doesn't grenade itself.
People in america have made ~1k HP on the old sl55s with intake, exhaust, new turbo and a tune. I think the shop that did that can also get massive gains with a tune alone. But either way is probably a bad idea since I don't think they were very reliable even in stock tune!

same thing
I think the power to weight ratio in the sl65, considering that the Black series is lighter than the normal sl65, would just be ridiculous if the engine power output isn't limited hence making it extremely difficult for the average driver to manage.. just because someone's got a deeper pocket doesn't mean they've got better driving skills lol
But I also don't buy the chassis story,take a look at just how low to the ground it is.. and plus, it's German engineering.

I was disappointed with Toyota neglecting to bring the Supra back and instead opting to make the new 86 , especially with Honda bringing back the NSX.

The Supra will be back.
I really like the idea of the 86 and they look pretty good, originally I was planning on getting one in a couple of years once there is a good amount of used ones for sale but i've gone off that idea for no real reason lol.

The 86 looks pretty good, especially the ZN6 GTS versions lol and even better if modified properly but can't overlook the power of a Supra.
Heard that the 86 lacks power...with a boxer engine already at high compression, a turbo wouldn't be a good idea.

There are already aftermarket super charger kits, if toyota or subaru wanted to a turbo version wouldn't be hard. They'd have to lower the compression ofcourse, I think there is already a production turbo FA motor in Japanese Liberty/Legacy anyway.
