I'm looking for my first car and I've narrowed it down to 4 options: the SSC Ultimate Aero, Bugatti Veyron SS, Hennesey Vemon GT, and the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. Price is not a factor-my parents work at an exotic car dealership, and can give me any car I want for free. However, reliability, driveabilty, and of course speed are all factors. Oh and what would be a better first car. Thanks!

On vacation with school until Friday. See y'all later!

if that's really the case, get the Ultimate Aero or the S7

countin' down the days until i get my drivers license

Get the Veyron.  It's AWD so you won't kill yourself instantly(hopefully)

I own all of those cars, definitely the Saleen.

Since money is no issue you might aswell try and get the SSC Tuatara early. Why settle for something that like an Iphone is already old technology.

Why not just get a mid-90's Civic DX?  Way more reliable and suitable for those hot summer months!  Way faster than any of those cars you've mentioned and that's BEFORE you swap in an engine out of an EVEN FASTER Civic!!!  You'll get all the chicks!

Being an owner of three Veyrons, a pair of S7s, a Venom and an Ultimate Aero, I'd say go with the Veyron. It's a much smoother car to drive every day, and between the AWD system and the double clutch gearbox, it's a breeze to drive fast as well. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. I'd say the Veyron is the perfect first car for you Coy.

Definitely Vemon GT... or, nah maybe the Bugatti or.. Now I know! Try something a bit more exotic, from wonderful Sweden where all girls are blond glamourmodels and we wrestle polar bears on the streets. What about the Koenigsegg Agera? Even comes with Koenigsegg branded straps, so you can strap the polar bear onto the roof for those wonderful bear stews.

Wait, your parents work at an exotic car dealership? Raise your standards, Geo Metro.

Just pick up the Veyron for a winter beater or something since it's all wheel drive and it's free anyways.

Dilemma solved!

 

My parents have decided the civic is too fast for my own good, so they won't let me get it.

Due to my location, a Konsiegg is not an option.

What you should do is buy a Fiat Strada Abarth.  And since the front seats don't fold far enough to let anyone in the back, you should take them out and put an engine there; convert it to mid-engined and give it rear wheel drive.  I'd suggest a twin-turbo'd Corvette V8 engine, since you can easily get 1500bhp out of them.  That kind of power will take your lightweight Strada to far higher speeds than any of those supercars you mentioned.

Change-change-change, change to full throttle

Where can I get one in the US?

Having owned all of these, I think the Veyron would be better suited for daily driving especially if you have to deal with stop-and-go traffic on a daily bases. With this being the case, you could only imagine how often you'd have to replace the clutch in all the other cars.

The Veyron would be best for the roads, as it is reliable and turns a lot of heads!

---

Come on why not buy a 250 cali instead

^^ Not fast enough

That's a damn shame about the Civic!

I wasn't going to do this but since I firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to own one of the worlds most powerful/fastest vehicles ever built...  I am going to offer you my custom Civic.  Your parents will be fooled into thinking it's one of them slow Veyron thingies and you'll have the pleasure of having unlimited ponies under your hood!  WIN/WIN!

Since money is no object and this is a custom build, I'll let it go for measly $2,493,702.46

Wow, what an offer! I NEVER though I would have the chance to drive a civic! I have to just run this by my parents...

My parents see past the veyron paintjob. Which is a bummer because I REALLY want a civic. :'(

Well, I guess your only option is to go for the real deal then.  I'm tired of my Veyron, I'll trade you straight up for a Ford Ranger!
