Badass vid though![/b]well relatively speaking, i think thats a pretty good deal...some of the cars that are closest to it are the mclaren f1, ferrari f50, and a lamborghini diablo and u have to pay a minimum of $275G and all the way up to $890G for a mclaren. not to mention, even after the twin turbos, it will still be in the shop less than a ferrari or lambo!
