C'mon man. Not this argument again.

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.

Oh no doubt man.

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.....

One currently for sale at 22M:

Man that'd be sad to let it sit....new plan: buy TWO.

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.

Most people don't want all out ungodly performance and a track monster. They want an all around car they can drive around all day every day...like any of the other McLarens lol.

Meh, 600LT (to me) just has so much more character and noise and loud and all the things I love about cars. 720S is a stellar car, one of the greats of all time but it just seems looks a bit tame compared to the LT cars.

Why? As long as it's maintained, it'll go up in value no matter how much you drive it.

Guess so, it is up to RT how they criteria-select for the PCOTY. Indeed for the C7 ZR1 they did mention being mild enough to be on the streets AND having the ability to be respectable on a track. So looks like it has to be dual duty.

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

And 89 less horsepower, 37 lb-ft less torque, and 346 lbs more weight.

The maths aren't working for me.

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.

Imma take the E63S wagon.

147 mph > 137 mph.

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....

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.....

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...
