    The guy is actually a Ferrari collector:

    "Benny Caiola Jr. is no fool. Saying that, would you lend your Ferrari Enzo to a stranger? Before you answer, consider this: the New York property developer owns two of them. And an F40, F40LM, F50, 333SP, 512BB, 575M, 456, 355, Dino, four 360s, a Lamborghini Diablo and Murcielago, Pagani Zonda, Porsche GT2 and Aston Martin Vanquish"

    Mr Pagandi and his staff are very hospitable , I hope to see many more
    zonda's on the road.

    Just hope they would make it a bit more affordable.

    3 Zondas: the pearl white/blue one is still for sale at Carugati, so it's still his car, even if they removed the "Caiola Cars" badges on the front fenders, and the car never touched the american soil.

    And we might say he will own 4 Zondas, if you add the fact that the very first Zonda R will be made for him: after all, he's the one who had this idea..

    I very well know their kindness.
    The Pagani atelier is a special place.

    Forget a "cheaper" Pagani, but... Just wait and you'll see.

    I thought Zondas weren't legal in the U.S.?

    Anything is legal if you have the funds to back it.

    +1 You can almost get any car with turn signals and working lights to be a street car.

    And just how do you get any car with turn signals and working lights as a street car if it can't be titled because it does not meet DOT regulations? Do give me the details, as you apparently know.

    I've seen cars on the road with plates that technically can't even be in the US under the show & display rules, so it really is possible, you just have to know the right people.

    Be aware there are many loop holes. Remember the engine it self is legal in the U.S. and I believe B.C. used his first Zonda as a track car initially.

    Hey this gesture was mentioned in a 5th Gear episode. VBH reviewed a Zonda Roadster and she mentioned this act. I didn't know that it was Benny that bought them the dinner. Very cool.

    I guess youve never heard of a "special" plate. In Ohio its for a car that is being tested.
