September 16th, 2008 at 7:47 amIf you have enough money to buy it, protect your investment and spend a bit more on DRIVING LESSONS There are a lot of rich folks in my area, and more often than not, the ones that I have observed do not have a clue how to handle these cars.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:18 amJust because you are an alpha male and have the ego/determination to get rich and own exotic cars, does not mean that you intrinsically know how to drive them
True. Hell even I wouldn’t drive that car like that, and I taught myself how to drive on a “racetrack”
Although then again, I won’t be driving around in my Ferrari like that when I do get it. Plus at 45-50, I think I’ll loose my need to drive fast. After all, why increase your chance of wrecking a $200,000 car?
September 16th, 2008 at 12:40 pmI still find it funny how a $12,000 motorcycle can beat a $275,000 car, and still get about 4 times the gas milage.

THE CCXR - THE FIRST GREEN SUPERCAR
The CCXR will take you to an entirely new level of performance. It is a derivative of the CCX, with a highly modified engine that can run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol (Europe). When run on regular petrol, the 4.7 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp, but this figure rises to an astonishing 1018 Bhp when the car is run on E85 Biofuel.
The CCXR is the first green supercar in the world and thereby sets a great example for others to follow. Since the ethanol in E85 fuel has a much higher octane rating and internal cooling capacity, the engine can run with higher compression, boost pressure and more spark advance compared to the normal petrol-fuelled CCX, whilst still maintaining the same exhaust temperature.
