I saw a Zonda sitting outside the casio in Monte Carlo.

It was unbelivable the cars parked out the front. I would have taken any car parked out front. Ferrari's, Rolls, Mercs, etc.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has a price tag of $US1.24 million and by far the most outrageous price for a road going car!! Yes.. it should be in the #1 spot, my bad. But it's even more of an impossible dream than the cars on the above list.

Out of that list... Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. I've wanted one of those since they were announced as a concept.

Not in the list... Bughatti Veyron. *drool*

Yeah.. the Koenigsegg CCR in black has been my top choice for a while now. That was untill I saw a Saleen S7 TT in black. Whooaa! It is hot! :sm_drool:






Either way, you'll be happy to know both cars have engines with Ford bloodlines. So gotta be happy with that.

Those stats have some awesome inaccuracies... now I'll be a bit of a stats-geek and correct them...

Maybach 57 S = 603bhp, not 612.

Carrera GT = 603bhp, not 605 and 3.4 to 100km/h, not 3.9.

Mercedes-McLaren SLR = 616bhp, not 617.

Koenigsegg CCR = 3.0 to 100km/h, not 3.2

Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 = 555bhp, not 602.

Which would I take? The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. It's the fastest car there, top speed of 248mph to the next car's, CCR's 242mph, hits 100km/h faster, is slower down the 1/4 though, but two out of three is good. Plus the engine is a 7.0 TT V8 against a 4.7 S/C V8, and CCR's seem to break down alot (so say many, many testers who've had them stop working during testing). Plus it looks the best.

Does anyone have any info on the Maybach excelero?? Was just a concept car, but if were to ever be made into production, claimed it would cost around the $8,000,000 mark. I've got the article somewere, don't know how true it is tho as it sounded a bit unrealistic...

Hasn't got 1001bhp. It has 1001 PS. That's 987bhp.

For all concerned... 1 brake horsepower = 1.014 Pfederstarke.
