I think... A Mosler MT900, but then.. It was next to a McLaren F1... Ya, the McLaren is cooler.
But I was in the parking lot at the Barrett Jackson, not actually in where the cars are for sale, just the cars people drove to the place. So, I'm not sure it counts.
Strictly at a cruise-in? There was a new ZR1 at the Pavillions... There was a Ariel Atom at a local car show.... Ugh, tough to pick.

When we first got to Vegas last fall we did the tourist thing for a few days. We went to the Lambo and Ferrari dealers and the Car Collection at Imperial palace. Some highlights:
CCX, Mark Donohue's Indy 500 car from72 (race winner), S7 (only $5000 a month), Benz 300 Gullwing (my fave out of all of 'em), F50, Nissan GTR, Verron (sp?) Funny thing about the Bugatti is it seemed about 2 feet tall. I've got pics of most of the cool stuff except what was at the Ferrari place. No photos damn it. See if I can post 'em. Since I've lived here, on the street I've seen a Bentley, Ferrari, Lambo, Ford GT, etc. Never A dull moment.
I just thought of 2 from my Firestone days, I try not to recall these as Firestone was pretty much a bad dream I couldn't wake up from. 2002 Gand Prix GT came in for an oil change. I go out, get in the car and see the cute A pillar pod full of gauges and the big stereo, etc. Yay! someone who thinks they have a fast car. I start my usual "sell the customer everything they don't need" inspection. I saw they had MSD coil packs and wires. OK, so they got a little go, I'll give some credit for that. I get to the air cleaner and reach down to check it, and there's no filter box, just a big ass turbo. No intercooler, just a short s pipe from the back of the turbo to the throttle body. Was the only car I test drove after an oil change (hey, I had to make sure everything worked ok). I will say, never got to WOT in that car or half throttle for that matter. The second you heard the whistle from the turbo coming up the front end just let go. Not in a nice lose of traction smooth smoke show sort of way. In a violent bouncing and rather crazy fashion. Didn't want to break anything, so just let it go at, damn I'll bet this is quite the sleeper.
The other was a late 90 ish Viper GTS. NOS, super charger, cam, cage, badly scorched rotors at all 4 corners. Belonged to a local fighter pilot who used to take it to some road course around Savannah GA. He brought it to us to check the AC. The strange part came when he brought it to us one day sans the entire front clip. Seems ole peter the pilot was braking hard into a hard turn off a long straight and ran out of breaking zone. Through the grass and up onto about a 10 foot embankment were it stopped. He backed it off and put it on the trailer. He said he broke the splitter and the oil cooler, everything else was fine. Was just kinda funny seeing this thing drive in with all the stuff that bolts to the clip now bungy corded on. Surprised he didn't get pulled over.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. The Imperial Palace is the collection to see if your into the history of things. Lambo/Ferrari dealers where cool for the Gee Wiz exoctic car stuff, but the history of the hobby is at the palace collection.
The real trouble of this town is how poor you tend to feel at times.
Pulled up next to white Callaway C6 on the way to work today. So many cars, so little.........money.

I think they could tell my son and I were part of the great unwashed masses that most likely would not be purchasing anything, so, completely ignored us, I couldn't even tell you who the salemen were. Costs about $20 to get into any of them. The Lambo place at least gives you a backstage pass looking thing to wear while your there, and they graciously let us keep 'em. I asked about just sitting in anything at the Lambo place. UUmmmmmm........let me think..............no. @#$%&*^s.
Edwige's Boss drives a Ferrari Scuderria , it' isn't a great car when it comes to confort and options but then , it wasn't designed for any of that ... it's all about performances , and the car delivers just that... Didn't got a chance to get on it but to look and listen , it's a blast!

Our first night here we wandering around the strip on foot and some dude with a lime green Gallardo spyder was blasting up and down the street. You can rent just about anything here, including Ferraris and Lambo's and muscle cars and 'bout anything you can imagine. Nothing like CCX's, or McClarren's, or S7's, or should I just say the exotic exotics are not for rent.

Yeah thats pretty neat. My cousin went to Vegas on his Honeymoon and thats one thing he told me. he said it was really expensive to rent one though. I think he told me like 1200 a day or something crazy like that.

im not sure if it was the lingenfelter. some dude who lives near by built it. it has the stock block, just a couple of big turbos in the back where the exhaust pipes r located.
Was down by the Strip yesterday. Ended up behind a black Ferrari 355 spyder. Had done some visual work to it. Black tail lights, black wheels, etc. Was the only car I've ever liked with black wheels. Stumbled across Tobin Rolls Royce/Bently. They had some nice toys out front. Gallerdo Spyder, ZR1, 911's, etc.
Eh. I'd say an original 427 cobra has been the coolest so far. I like ferraris and such, but I wholesale them occasionally and they're just another car with more mechanical issues then most.
I live in New England. There are some impressive cars around. It would be hard to pick what the coolest car was.
I've seen everything from the original Eleanor to a school bus with a rocket engine. There is a guy around here that has an old ford from the first model line that Ford rolled out. It's like a 1910 model T or something (I forget the exact date). That was a damn cool car.
Trivia question for you...
The sticker on the shifter of the REAL Eleanor does not say "go baby go" like in the movie.
Here's an interesting sighting. McCarren intl airport long term parking. 911GT3, Lambo Gallerdo (sp). Guess someone lost too much cash in Vegas and left them there for insurance theft? Not sure why else you would leave them in a parking garage of all things.
