Dont think they should be compared. With that being said this car sounds fkn amazingg, that last drive by is....
Indeed! The Zonda R looks more like a jet, but with 4 wheels on the ground

Never mind the track conditions, the car is faster today, job's done mates, time for a beer!
When did I imply that track conditions don't mean anything?

This is also a pretty pathetic rebuttal to what I said. I guess you ran out of ideas so you resort to sarcasm.

This car is scary shit.. There are 3 of them in Hong Kong and I've seen one on the road.

Just the sound of it cruising by makes you wet yourself.

Are you sure you saw a Pagani Zonda R on the road? Because that car isn't street legal...

Did you see where he said they are? Not all countries have the same laws.

Yes, they even have the Gumpert...

Check out SPS Automotive Performance. They made the car street legal and put a special licence on it

Yea the Gumpert is street legal, and I see what you mean. SPS made the Pagani street legal so that makes sense. I've lived in Taiwan and Hong Kong for about 3 years.

Yea I saw where he said the Pagani was and I'm perfectly familiar with different laws in different countries. And regardless whether countries have different laws or not, Pagani said the car wasn't street legal themselves, as said here in the fourth paragraph.

Besides, the Ferrari 599xx and the Ferrari FXX aren't street legal, but I'm pretty sure you don't seem them on public roads anywhere.

However, non-street legal cars can be driven on the public roads illegally. In Taiwan, sometimes some cars don't pass emission regulations, so they don't get to be street legal. So sometimes the owners put on fake license plates and drive them around occasionally, but they have to be low profile or take only short trips because its illegal and they can't get insurance. I know that the owner of an Enzo in Taiwan that has to do that.

Pagani's next model will be street-legal in the US. This is what an art teacher (she brought all her students) told me while I was at the Pagani factory in May.
