Comments

I read the title fast and thought it said “Super-laxitives”

Isn’t the best selling model a Ford f150?

But the ultimate question is:
Which is the most fun car (ever made or currently on sale, another question)

Not to be that guy, but I’m pretty sure the Raptor pictured isn’t a 2010..

The LaF produces 789bhp but the Zonda Revolution produces 800bhp. I might be wrong . If you’re talking about road cars only or current cars only then I’m wrong

Some other cool facts would be like most power per liter or per cylinder. Most power for height of wing(lol) stuff like that. Just a suggestion haha, great write up tho!
