Except everybody knows what a Bugatti Veyron is.

Very cool argument!

There’s no limit for what people with the means will pay for something with the title of “the ultimate.”

I see where you’re going, but on the Chiron it’s the defining styling element. Quite drastic.

Not “beautiful” by any means but that door cutout /scoop is an absolutely unique and very cool design feature.

I’m with you. If I had the means to buy a $55k toy to stick in the garage and bring out to a track a few times a year, I’d get one for sure. You’ll be able to get your money back at worst, likely get paid to be the caretaker of a future classic.

I’m right with you - you might be still able to snag a 996 GT3 for ~$60k if you get lucky, which is what I would shoot for with my imaginary money, or find a nice C6 Z06 with the same fantastic 7.0L motor the Z/28 has and have a boatload of cash left over for track days.

Touche, fair point.

Oh for sure, this is definitely a very narrow focus, limited market car.

Well, the Z/28 is the equivalent of the GT350R, or 911GT3 RS, or Type R. It’s the ultimate spec. It has the equipment and spec to go out and turn fast lap after fast lap with no issues right out of the box.

This may be your last chance to get a 7.0L (427 cu in) NA V8 in a brand new non-supercar, ever.

Well, technically...

There’s a kids roundy-round next to my local roadcourse. The tow rigs the parents bring for that little 150lb kiddie cart are nicer than anything brought to the open track days I’ve been to.

Oh hell, mine definitely glowed in the dark now that you mention it, but I don’t remember what cars they were.

You can also do kids roundy round:

Ooh, I had Cliff Hangers.

For me, making a “track” around my basement to run this was a good start.

I’m thinking the less grippy tires than the Mac didn’t help either.
