If you want fast, I would get the Porsche 911 turbo S. 0-60 in 2.7 sec.

if you can afford to get your kid a SLS, you would not worry about the cost of insurance. you seem well versed on this here interwebz, maybe a simple search on any search engine will find you the car you are looking for. Happy early birthday. TC

100% agreed, the exterior is ugly, and the interior is even worse, but you got to hand it to the GTR, from 0-60, it really earns its giant killer reputation.

The fact that you called the SLR gay, makes you sound about 10. Considering that thats what 10 year old's say now. Thats well gay init!
Anyways, If your daddy can afford to buy you a car worth $150k, he can afford the insurance. If he cant then get a civic

I usually defend people who are asking for help but this kid deserves flaming and then some. SLR is gay.......dude be quiet. you are anything but a car enthusiast, you are chasing the badge and have no idea what you are talking about...you base a car's performance solely on it's engine.......6.2>5.5 so it must be faster. It's carrera not cararra. You don't even mention what lambo you are interested in. Lambo is a manufacturer....not a model which proves you are a kid chasing badges and nothing else.
Do us all a favor don't purchase anything with more than 1 wheel on it....please.
