Nice, but you can get two of the hardtop version for the same price. 217MPH with the top down, wonder if that would peel all of your hair off? I guess if you want luxury and speed, it's the way to go. But there's Lingenfelter Z06's out there that are faster. No droptop though...:no:

Have you seen the youtube video of captain slow taking it up to top speed on the VW test track ?
Click on the link, it's over 9 minutes long, but what a ride!!!!

I would like to see a street legal Z06 go 253mph, that would be something...

I've watched that video several times. Wild! It's one of those "fantasy cars" made real for the uber-rich with nothing to lose but their lives. Got to love it! :yes: :thmbsp:

I don't expect to ever own one, but it would be cool (and scary, at top speeds!) to ride in one! :D

They love this car on top gear, they have all driven it and its been used in heaps of episodes.

Interesting car, and 4wd makes sense to try and put all that HP/TQ 'on the ground'. Top speed is nice, but, ummmm, were on Earth besides the closed and VERY long smooth surface track can you really use it? The rear wing as 'air brake' idea is interesting tho and maybe unique.

For the money i get a retired F1 car or a much cheaper FA or GP2.
