Title: OK, that\'s it, I\'m getting a new car.

I bet you could get this for about 1.2 million if you wanted it.  This car was at SEMA and it is pretty darn impressive.  A guy down in St. Petersburgh has one of these.  We did a story on him when I was in the news.  He has over 30 rare sports cars.  Some of the most amazing cars you will ever see.  Millions and millions of dollars.  He owns a pharmaceutical company.  No wonder drugs are so expensive.

Damn, thats all I gotta say.

My dream car is still a 2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT.

You\'d never be able to get insurance on that thing though.

Do you think I could use this as my daily driver?  You know, I don\'t want to put too many miles on my nice cars.  :)

The ML F1 has been around long enough to keep from spiking my interest. It’s an awesome car but considering the price tag I can’t seem to get excited about it. If it isn’t around the 10 to 20 k range I just cant seem to get excited about it.

10-20 grand range?  You go big spender.

Haha!  The McLaren has always been my dream car but only people like Jay Leno and Dave Letterman can afford one.  I have several videos of this car, one vs. a Skyline and it smokes the Nissan (which is my favorite realistic car :))

So what\'s the coolest thing about this car?

- Sexy looks
- Hand built by the McLaren R&D team
- Awesome handling with steering wheel in middle of car
- 627hp of raw N/A power
- Affordable $1 million price tag

It\'s got it all, I wonder why we don\'t see more on the streets?  And Vid you would like this car as it has another BMW engne in it. ;)

Yeah.  Me knows.  

I am going to have a Rolls Royce, McLaren, and an M5 in my driveway.  A BMW enthusiasts dream.

Awesome car, a TV programme in the UK broke the average speed record of an oval track in one of those. A guy called Tiff Needel, a racing driver/presenter recorded an average speed of over 230MPH over a number of laps. Half way through the challenge he had to stop to change the tires because he shredded them.:eek:

If I remember right, they\'re not street legal. This one that\'s for sale has to/did a conversion to make it legal for the US.

I sent the link to my boss, and he sent it to his multi-millionare friend. This guy bought an H2, and matching Benz\'s for him and his wife around xmas time... then, just because he bought his wife a gigantic 5 ct diamond, he went to Florida and came back trailering a yellow 2003 Ferrari.

Long story short, I think the guy is seriously putting a bid on this car. He said that if he gets it, he\'ll take me out cruising in it for "finding" it....I\'ll keep you posted...
