Z06 against P1. The way that P1 is pulling on the straights is nothing but spectacular :

I guess that's what kind of performance you get when you spend in excess of 1 cool mill.

amazing what another $900k will do performance wise.

But yes, the P1 will blow a Z06 any day.

Yup along with its Ferrari and Porsche equivalents, a whole class up.

Smart man. I would take a Formula 4 car. Not into Hypercars. I can buy one piece of property with $1MM, and use the monthly income to race my F4 car. Sell the car and property, be ahead. I'll be faster on the track to boot.

People of a certain wealth level have different priorities. My friend held a track event several weeks ago, and the cheapest car was a 650S. One guy showed up in a P1 and tracked it the whole day. He certainly doesn't care how he has to invest $1M to finance his racing passion.

Of course not. If you can afford $1m car car you can certainly do whatever you want with it. Probably the cheap one in the stable

No doubt. But personalities have to be considered also. I know many who could burn cash in their fireplace to keep their 11000 sq. ft. home at 90F, and it wouldn't make a dent on their net worth. But they won't. They'd invest it. Some think it's crazy to pay over half a million for a watch. I think it's justified. Bottom line, it's not the wealth level but the personal attitude towards money.

I know several people at that wealth level, and their willingness to spend money, and what to spend it on, vary quite a bit. Seems hard to generalize. Even at my much more ordinary and modest level, I'm conflicted about it sometimes.

I agree. In the end, its all priorities and we all have different ones.

Almost worth just getting a cheap $300 windows 8 laptop for that alone, , the program has some amazingly cool features standard

I'm morbidly curious what your $500,000 watch looks like.

A $500,000 watch, a $5,000,000 Stradivarius violin, a $50,000,000 van Gogh...where does it end? All can be considered transcendent far beyond original intent.

Ha, I don't have one. I wouldn't buy one yet, I need to feel I've earned it.
