Dont be jealous now.

[phitau09]

carfan, you clearly are a moron. If you think the Nissan GTR is better than a ZR1, I feel sorry for you. Im sure you probably rode the short bus to school before you flunked out.

I wish i had that kind of money to just go to barrett jackson and clean the place out

[hustler1593]

Fucking idiot lmao!! He bought it for the same price as a Bugatti! ;)

Ok the Money mostly goes to a great Cause like the United Way but, it just makes me sad to see a Guy dropping $1 million on a Car just like it's a Scratch n Win ticket. Yes, I am jealous and yet even tho I'd trade places with the Buyer in a Heartbeat, I don't believe he really loves hot Cars. Like someone already said, it's just a Status thing for People like him. I'll bet he never even drives 1/2 of the Vehicles he has stashed in some Warehouse. Just my Opinion. For what it's worth!

Wait... Didn't jay leno own this car? His cars vin number was 0001.... Did he buy it off the original winner?

[Yfz10r]

Because when you got that much money its all about status my friends

@2012CamaroZL1IsEpic He could have just paid 82 grand for it. I bet the guy that bought it is shouting SHIT right now. And WOO HOO JAY LENO!!!

Get that man on Top Gear America!

1,000,000 FRICKEN BUCKS???? WHY NOT WAIT A YEAR AND PAY ONLY 100,000 BUCKS?

@kmv2244 I was ready to rip apart your actually well made argument.However, looking back at my initial comment, I feel the pros I made in regards to GT-R far outweigh the nominations you made in favor of the ZR1.Im going to school in London Ontario and my house mate drives a white 2010 GT-R to and from campus everyday of the school year. The roads are still well plowed and its a damn-sight better in winter than A LOT cars others choose to drive during snow season. He did use snow tires.

@Riles07 What about horsepower? Braking? Top speed? 0-100-0? Comfort is subjective; so are looks. The frame is aluminum, and the body panels are fiberglass or carbon fiber (not plastic). No one should drive a car like this in the snow anyways. Less expensive service costs? Really? GM service is nothing compared to what it's going to cost to fix your all-wheel drive components anyways. Let's race around the Nurburgring tomorrow. Do you still want the GT-R? Didn't think so...
