If any of you have a over $200,000 ...

If I had $200,000 to throw around it wouldn't be on a car like this. So it goes fast, big deal. There are no highways in Canada where it could be driven like that. People with this kind of car must have more money than brains, have a bit of an ego and are a hazard on the highways. Sure as hell won't see someone driving it at 100kph.
If I had $200K lying around I'd be bedding every high-end escort that caught my fancy... That's a far more interesting ride if you ask me! :whoo:
Vkcs, no I'm assuming a 991 is Porsche, will look it up later, thanks.
Mr. Piggy, he takes his car to Mosport every few weeks, he enjoys it. Plus on the highway last night, even at 120, the thing was a blast, actually tipped over 150 at one point and told him to slow down. lol
I felt bad for the Lamborghini behind to us at one point, more people were snapping away pics at the McClaren than anything else at the coffee place we stopped by at.
This guy has zero ego, super nice guy, down to earth as one can get. Paid for everyone's orders last night (those in line behind us - about 7/8? people) at the coffee place in Burlington last night.
Raven LOL

Yes the 100km/h is a shame. These cars are crying on the highways, because that speed is a torture for them. If you want to enjoy this babies, just go to Germany, rent one for 2 days and no speed limit on the highways. Not everywhere but many of there are free to drive more than 300km/h. It cost you less than 10K and you get a lifetime experience or a beautiful farewell speech in the morgue.
$200,000 no thanks, I would put that money down on a vacation home in Lazio.
And I could probably drive it off the road with my car.

It makes me laugh when people say there's nowhere to legally drive a supercar above 100 km/h. In fact, there's lots of places, they're called race tracks. It's relatively inexpensive, safe and most offer high performance driving courses as well. I've taught all sorts of people from novice race car drivers to ordinary folks how to get around many different tracks over the last 35 years.
These are my favourites, all within ~5 hours of Toronto.
- Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport)
- Calabogie Motorsports Park
- Circuit Mont-Tremblant
- Watkins Glen International
- Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
- Shannonville Motorsport Park
Actually that's not true. Modern performance cars are just as happy cruising along at 50-100 km/h as they are at 300.
I've done that, but it's far safer and way more challenging to go to a race track. Besides, the fun part of driving is braking, cornering, accelerating etc. Anyone can drive in a straight line, takes no skill and is boring IMHO. Corners test your skill.If you want to enjoy this babies, just go to Germany, rent one for 2 days and no speed limit on the highways.

With all due respect, while a '71 Dodge Challenger may have a lot of HP, it's '70s suspension geometry and brakes. Have the same experienced driver pilot both the McLaren 570S and the Challenger around a track, the 570S wins hands down!
Actually I don't care the race track if I have this car. Usually those are second cars and I want to use it on the street. That's why I buy it. These cars built for speed not for a happy cruising. For happy cruising I'll choose a limousin.
Yes, they're built for speed and quite suitable for both street and track. The track however is the only place you can really enjoy the car's potential without tickets and/or charged with stunt driving and having your car impounded for a week.
Live and let live!
Some petrolheads do actually enjoy fast cars! Nothing to do with ego!
And yes, I would hope there are tracks in Canada!!!..To fully enjoy the full potential of these cars, it has to be on track, the autobhan or the ring.
But I'm sure any peteolhead would enjoy these cars on any public a/b road and driving within the speed limit.
Yes, it's the latest version of the 911. The turbo s pushes more power and is 4 wheel drive but the 570s still beat it. Tells you how good the handling and control is for the 570s.
Lol
With all due respect, a 570s would piss all over that Dodge. Be it on track or quarter mile!
I would say a 911 GT3 RS would give the 570S a run for its money.
No kidding... We're talking F1 technology vs. primitive design and engineering.
