Beats my dads old car, a 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe (CSX2287). It only had a top speed of 85mph, in 1st gear and only had 4 gears.

1 radiator just to cool the hydraulic fluid that raised the spoiler.

IIRC when the car first appeared on Top Gear thay said it actually cost the manufactures 5 million to make each one.

Isn't a car like this just a tool of the Bourgeois oppressors? :rotfl:

I'll take the Daytona Coupe any day. That's a real car.

I'll have to admit, my dads old car may have been slow by comparison but it was fun to drive in GT Legends.

I just wish I had a chance to actually see it before it disapeard for 30+ years. I had 2 racing posters in my room when I was a kid and there were 2 B/W photos of it in the house, taken with my father standing in next to it. The pics were taken before I came along .

I someone gave me a Veyron, I would sell it, buy an Aston Martin DB9 and go on a roadtrip to the best bordellos in Europe with the rest of the money!
