Bugatti VS Ford GT
I went to the Lexus store last week, got out of my wife's car and heard the coolest noise. A Bugatti and Ford GT we're racing from the light and the Bugatti pulled about 5 car lengths ahead.
It wasn't that the GT was slow, the Bugatti let out a wail that the banche's from Ireland still talk about today.

Seems like a lot of distance, I know. But, check out this video and see "related" next to them - YouTube). The B makes the SLR look like a joke, no surprise with a Ford GT. The B is wickedly fast (1000 hp, keep in mind).

Hmmm... that is one monster machine and massively overengineered... which is certainly not a bad thing and at the very least has all my repspect for an engineering marvel, the likes of which we probably would not see again. Apparently the R&D in the car comes in at 5Mio € per car sold 
, so at 1Mio € price tag you are getting the bargain of the decade (ceteris parabis).
Compare that to the brute 9ff GT9 (?) which supposedly has a higher top end than the Bug. I think I would trust the Bug's aerodynamics tuning at speed much more than 9ff's weekend windtunnel efforts...
Thing is if you one the lotto - and I mean a big one (it would have to be big) - would you add a Bug to your list?

I wouldn't want to do 250+ in a rwd/rear engine car on my luckiest day, would you?
