The point of the car is to say that you have the money, and that nothing can catch you...well sort of. I would love to have a car thats as sweet and powerful as that, but i wont waste all my money on one.

It's a difference in opinion. Honestly, if I could spend 1.3 mil on either a T/A or a Bugatti, it would be tough. That Veyron is GORGEOUS. But then again, who wouldn't mind modding a T/A till it hits 0-60 in 3.0 HAHA. But, you'll have your chance to buy a Bugatti when they come out in the U.S. under a different name. Rumor is, the "Baby Bugatti" is coming out in the U.S. in V-8 form in a couple years for a measly 50-60k. Probably with an "Emporio Armani" feel. It won't be the real thing, but at least it says Armani. HAHA

IMO you could get something still pretty bad ***, like a Bentley or Ferrari.

I mean you could do a 599 GTB or Bentley Arnage Drophead to turn heads and still have plently left over for a S550 or Quattraporte and a nice SUV like the Escalade or a S/C Range Rover. And still build a dedicated street/track monster like a Noble M12 or even something as crazy as a 1,000 RWHP Ultima GTR.

Cars like that are hyper exotics built to bring out the 12yr old in us. Cars like that are made for boys to put posters up in their rooms and for rich men to buy to relive their youth.
They are COOOL but not even really cars anymore. NO superexotic is as reliable as a Camry or a Chevrolet Truck but nothing elicits emotion like a SuperCar.

Neat but it doesn't make me happy like a streetable C6R would. Different strokes for different folks ya' know?

Is it me or is this good sig material?

The recent sale of the yellow McLaren was for 1.6-1.8 I forget the exact number. The McLaren will be the 250 GTO of our generation and will only go up in price. The McLaren one Le Mans its first time out which is a rare accomplishment on its on, I dont know if another car has done that. The Veyron has not been raced and if it was they could not use the its engine that it has but would have to switch to a 4.0 FI engine or a 7.0 N/A motor. IMO the McLaren will always be a step above the Veyron.

I agree comparing an engineering exercise with a car with real racing provenance is stupid IMO. The Mclaren F1 is revolutionary still many years past its debut. Its lightweight efficient chassis has not been matched by any of the latest supercars.
