I think the Blastolene Tank Car in his collection is pretty awesome. Hand made by an engineer/artist, this car sports an engine from a M47 Patton Tank---and Leno had it hopped up with twin turbos. 1600 horsepower, and 3 mpg.

On the 0-60 times and modern cars: my Cobra is plenty fast---but there is always somebody out there that's faster. Cobras are beautiful, and accumulate a crowd while standing still in a parking lot. It's about the Art of the Automobile, and the Cobra has plenty of it. I think Leno gets that, and probably why he stated that he didn't appreciate replicas which had been modified from the original design. Imagine the Mona Lisa with a breast enhancements...
