It's so old, but it still manages to destroy more modern supercars.

The Mclaren never did it for me...

Did you install one of those electric superchargers from eBay, those gains are SICK!

Are Koenigseggs available in the US? I know Paganis aren't.

Who said I would be living int he US

No... I would look into importing one and going through all the silly DOT regulations... I know it wouldnt be cheap, but why the heck not... If I cant import it, I will go with the lowly f430 coupe...

Squawks · 03-19-2006, 08:24 PM

Can't you buy anything you want and import it into the U.S.? But if you mean whether Koenigseggs are illegal in the U.S. - yes, they are street-illegal. But I was thinking in mind you'd still be allowed to import it purely for collection and/or track purposes only.

Damn, I forget what that kind of styling is called in Japan, but it's popular over there. Along with the 8 feet long exhaust tips, etc.

You should go for the Vantage, sell the E90, and a couple of organs.

Vantage doesn't meet the topic of this thread: "Your favorite car-that-you-will-never-ever-own"
