Back OT here, of the 13 cars, only 1 of them would be registered in the new owners name at less than what RRP was at the time. Hence why there are so many cars, cause there are so many dreamers

Maybe not many people can handle that much power his car has? Must be nuts to have a car that pulls skids whilst strapped down on a dyno?

It is what someone is prepared to pay. I would for example still pay $110k for a near new one as they are just that good a car.... way more fun than an M3 IMO
Agree 100% Ian.
