Erm, maybe I should inform you that 200,000 would not even be enough to buy the engine for the car you posted (the Bugatti Veyron). That car is expected to cost 1.2 million dollars. With 200K you'd still be a million greenbacks short. With that said you have great taste.

One thing I'd love to do is participate in a race between a Bugatti Veyron, a McLaren F1, and a Ferrari Enzo.

To me the McLaren F1 is the most desirable car ever built....the vision of one man, designed and built without regard to cost. Splendid.

Thanks. To be honest I did not know the Bugatti's cost that much. But to be sure they always were in a class by themselves.

There is a great story about Ettore Bugatti, when he was in his prime, perhaps you have heard, if so, sorry to repeat it.

It seems a loyal client in Paris had received his new Bugattti, but after some months, he found he had difficulty starting it on cold days.

Some letters were sent and ignored. Phone calls made, but not returned. The client, on a trip to Strasbourg decided to go out to the factory, as it was not to far away.

He found himself waiting for Mr Bugatti. And he waited. One hour, soon two and then three. At last in desperation, as Mr. Bugatti was departing for lunch, the man approached. He explained his letters, his calls and his problem with the car.

Mr. Bugatti's response was classic:

Surely Sir, if you can afford a Bugatti, you can afford a heated garage, No?

The Bugatti is definitely the car to get if money isn't an issue.

I like the Ford GT better because it doesn't have any nanny-buttons to keep your reer wheels behind you at all times. It relies purely on driver skill...so you crash at 150+ your probably dead.
