Look at the trap speeds. And 2.6 vs 2.8? lol..... Senna is in a diff league than the GT2 RS. Underrated supercar, imo.

Can't believe Senna didn't win PCOTY. Probably cause its ugly and people doesn't like ugly...even if it has ungodly performance and is a track monster.

McLarens are awesome...But, it'll be a tough one to disregard a Ferrari.

One can dream. And then, there's Pagani and Koenigsegg.

Pick-up truck.
Only "truck" I'm getting is a Defender. Or a Merc G-Class.

McLaren F1, fools!
You can have your 4.0TwinToy with an automatic, I will take the 6.1 V12 with the Manuel.

But even with a single big jackpot lotto win, a F1 may be out of reach due to the price. It's at minimum a 15M car now....billionaire or multi 100s milions money territory....
If I was the sole winner of that 1.6B jackpot win? Net home around 400-500M....probably consider it.....

1 for the weekend and 1 for storage/investment. Both would likely still go up in value over the years.....boom problem solved. Poor people need not apply.
Ex-OEM King
Why? As long as it's maintained, it'll go up in value no matter how much you drive it.

A great perfect medium could be the new M5 as well....lots of practicality with lots of performance still.

Just don't pull a Paul Walker if you do drive it.

I’d say a common misconception is that people buy certain things - whatever - to impress people. This might be true in younger ages like maybe 20-30’s, a facet of maturity level and other factors, but I’d say as you get older this feeling diminishes to a pretty low and ultimately non-existent level and you get to a point where you want something because a) you can now afford it and b) you WANT IT. This was certainly the case, for example, with my recent purchase (the Viper). I wanted it, period. So I got it. Just for myself.

147 mph > 137 mph.
is is it worth a 600,000 dollar difference? Not really a valid question on these fronts.
Team Owner
It is also half a second faster on the lap.... i guess like Top speed, once you reach a certain point, all advancement will require double or triple the $$ or HP.... in this case $600K.
But if you can afford to buy a $1M Senna.... and you also like the GT3 RS... well, get both... it is only $300k more... big deal....

Just don't pull a Paul Walker if you want to let your dumbass friend drive you in it.
Oh I think there's no shortage of that. Lots of ppl DGAF and get what they want. Certainly I do think some of the "hey look at me!" perception is likely over-done. Though my own bias is for those brodozer things.
Not to mention just finished a recent book called "The Millionaire Next Door" (updated 2018 edition) and too many people live like they are wealthy when they are swimming in debt.....
Werd.
No kidding, if you can afford either one GT2 RS or Senna, you can probably afford both. And before anyone point out how much cheaper the GT2 RS is....yeah on paper/MSRP it's like 350k....but no way anyone can actually buy one for that much....market value/adjustment is easily 100k over sticker on a GT2 RS...

Storing a F1 is more damaging to the investment than actually driving it....
