Though less fancy, I'd opt for an LS7 powered Factory Five GTM.

I find no shame in rocking an ass-kicking kit car.

Oh yeah, those are sweet.
ZERO creature comforts, all business.
I'd actually be a heretic... skip the race graphics and make the interior daily driver friendly.

The Veyron is getting very "Meh" lately.

So, it is nearly as fast as a Busa/ZX12/14/Literbike in acceleration, and it is about as fast as a turbo busa in top speed.

It is expensive(I read a set of tires costs $25K and they have to be installed in France), heavy, ugly and overhyped.

Plus it is a VW, so nothing electrical will work after 2010.

i liked the Pur Sang (unpainted, polished aluminum) better... gotta love blinding other drivers on a sunny day!

Really, I can't get too excited about any car that costs more than my house. It's like, OK, you throw a bunch of money at it and you can build a car with really impressive numbers. Next year someone will make a more expensive one with bigger numbers. What does it all mean to me?

I was a passenger in an atom once, crazy car, yeh there is nothing like it short of riding a bike. And the seven is almost as good. The one I had was equipped with a 13bt, and it had a on of problems just keeping traction

I'd rather have a Smart with a Gixxer motor in it.
