Porsche 9FF GT9
Yours for $700,000 
"To understand just how crazy the GT9 is you need look no further than the CV of Jan Fatthauer, the man who created it. A professional auto-engineer, he trained with RUF, a German company that tunes Porsches to trouser-igniting performance levels. After a while, he decided that RUF’s Porsches weren’t daft enough so in 2001 he branched out on his own and named his new company 9ff"

gotta agree on that one.
...the CGT would be a nicer platform to work with. That car is barebones and certainly not a street car, wheres the Veyron is not a track car.

The reason for the terrible 0-60 is the fact that the car is RWD with no traction control. A bit hard to launch. This car is about 2 sec faster to 185 than the Veyron.

i know that the ground effects and all the body mods probably look the way they do for practical reasons (performance at high speeds), but i can't help but feel that from the front, the car looks like one of those bumper cars you see at a carnival.

cuz that would be absolutely tragic. why take a perfectly rare, no longer in production porsche flagship supercar and turn it into a straight line rocket monkey with all its aero accoutrements that's going to make it look like ****? i feel much better ripping apart the commoners' 911. much less of a sacrifice.
and i'm not following the logic here... because the cgt is a faster car than a 911.. doesn't make it a better candidate for these insanely 250MPH+ high speed rockets. these high speed runs are cool, but tired to me. you just compromise in too many other areas... which again makes me appreciate the veyron all the more. i love that car.
