Since nobody is interested, I'll take the carrera gt. While somewhat dated by today's standards, this is hands down the best sounding car of the group. Videos can't capture how the exhaust note sounds (and feels) in person.

The Pagani Huayra (second from the right, back row) sounds incredibly amazing!

BTW that's a 918, there's no Carrera GT in that group.

Another fan here. I saw (and heard) one in Stockholm and was blown away.
Perfect proportions, stunning engine sound, fairly compact, not too in yer face.

Lambos are impressive but just too OTT; I'd feel a complete idiot driving one (and would probably crash it too).

Lego makes some smaller model cars like 200 pieces. Porsche, La Ferrari, McLaren. Really cool and maybe $15 each if memory serves. May be worth checking out.

The F40 is pretty awesome but maybe a little much for a kid - 2k pieces I think. Also upcoming is Porsche test mule complete with camo graphics. Looks insane.

Was having this kind of conversation today with my 6 year old after a Lamborghini Aventador rolled by. He asked me if it was faster than my 335i. Said yes and he asked why I bought that car and I needed to get rid of it. Then he told me he is getting a Bugatti and I get a lambo and mama can have the bmw instead of the Benz. But he still does not understand why I bought a bmw when I could have bought the lambo.

You chose the 335i because it is more reliable than the Lambo. LOL

I would choose the Alfa.

Best looking IMHO.

Also, a grand tourer. A car that would be an event every time you drove it.

Not that the others wouldn't, they just have less romance to them. They are all out beasts.

Kid logic is funny. My 3 year old niece started sobbing uncontrollably when her father / my brother borrowed grandpa's car. She mistook "borrow" for "broke" and though my brother had broken our father's 2006 330ci that had 25k on it. After she realized the car wasn't broken she wanted to know why daddy stole from pop pop without asking.

I have always had a thing for Lamborghini's and plan to get one some day, so the best of them is the Elemento.

Widow maker? That's reserved for the Carrera GT.
