If I have that money to buy a car, I'll go for the Koenigsegg CCX.

for that kinda $$, I'd get an Murci, a 360, and some property wiith tight garage/loft apt. on it. Heck with what was left over, I might just pick up one of the 90's ZR1's just to do doughnuts in!

I like the CCX's windshield-sidewindow transition. So smooth... Reminds me of the ol' Vector M12.

It's not a kit car and it's better than a zonda.

On Pistonheads it says the CCX has lapped a COLD Nurburgring in 7:32!

The Zonda F CLUBSPORT (AKA, modded version...) did a 7:27.

Koenigsegg is making a CCX-R.

We'll just have to wait and see...

Fast is Fast. A few seconds here, a few seconds there don't really matter in my opinon. A few seconds over a 7 and a half minute lap shouldn't really matter to guys like us who will drive the thing over potholes and dead squirrels around brown county or Madison.

I think the CCX looks better. The Zonda's are WAY over the top. But, honestly I would not want either. If I was going to do a B-road blast in a supercar built for the sole purpose of speed, I'd probably go with the F40 or Mclaren F1.

McLarens are around 1.5 mill
and rund about 20k a year in maintance, inlcuding a new cluth every 3-5k miles I beleive

but for 500k each, a Zonda S and F40 sounds great

Ild be a happy boy, Diablo, Zonda, F40, SuperHamster
someday

Threr are a number of teen driving programs being offered by the racing schools now that beat the crap out of anything offered by the normal providers. Autoweek is a huge proponent of them and you are VERY smart to be thinking about that already. +1 to you for the day.
