    I heard a rumor that Wyclef Jean has/had a Zonda; the circumstances are unknown to me. There is a well-known Ferrari collector in New York who owns a Zonda. I've seen the thank-you letter that he wrote to Horatio Pagani after he took delivery of the car.

    You have good taste in cars my friend!

    Veyron is overrated, zonda is a thing of beauty and the POWER of that thing... Unbelievable. Dark grey one for me with red interior! The zonda F is my all time favourite car.

    Diablo GT is also a great car, ever thought of one of those?

    Here are some shocking top speed test results - one guy who has very good relations at Pagani factory told that C9 reached 411 km/h top speed during test in 40 degrees heat, Pagani stuff was more than happy with the result. From what I have heard top speed of production versions will be limited to 380 km/h , engine will have power between 700 and 710 hp. Pagani proved one more time - power-to-weight ratio is way to success in the supercars world.
    Pagani C9 will be officially sell in in USA.

    I think J.C is able to exlplain well the point.
    Like Clarkson is pointing, modern cars like the Enzo are faster than the F40 around a track. They are padded by the electronic system. But, the older car is still a icon for full throttle performace ad feelings. It's a go-kart with a TT V8 engine on the back, and it's the best about it is. He does not mention or does not dwell on any time acceleration figures, because they are probably irrelevant and not affect the point.
    A go-kart is not submerged by the electronic system, thus, it could be improved in some times figures. But if so were, it would not be a go-kart. :)

    Great as it is, would guess Ferrari will figure out a way to improve upon the Enzo at some point. But they'll never make a better Forty.

    Because he is a giant bafoon. :D

    I say this all the time - Top Gear is an entertainment program first and foremost. If you are looking for facts, look elsewhere.

    A better question is how did this thread get to 10 pages with just a single photo of Jeffrey's new toy? :confused:

    Carbon is pacing his office, sweating and biting his nails...

    "Shortly" and "different" are very broad words.

    Carbon, how much do you want to know about the ex-Wyclef Jean Zonda? A good friend here in Scottsdale owned it for a while.

    Jason - Thanks for the effort but my car doesn't look like that. My interior is different. :)

    I will post some preliminary "updated" pics on Wednesday/Thursday. :)

    Really? They don't do a thing to me. The front looks like an insect to me.

    Am I the only one who thought this was hilarious?

    I haven't slept in days.

    Is it still in the U.S.? Did he own it before or after Jean? Who owns it now? How do I test drive it? :)
