Ive seen them they are a very nice car but thats nuts ! I like Steve McQueen and all not that he was one of the greats but still thats nuts ! 100 years from now no one is going to care is some "who was that" drove the car.

It makes you wonder if this is a trend, first the Olds F-88 breaking records at $3,000,000.00 and now this at just over $4 million. Where is the madness going to end? A Tatra at 6 mil?

ok i kno this is off topic.... but who came up with "GXP member" and why in the hell is it above "super sport member"

what about that rolls royce silver ghost or whatever its called?

Cool. I'd personally rather have a McLaren F1, seven nice 1969 Camaros. (Z/28, SS350, RS/SS 396, RS convertible, COPO, ZL1, Yenko) and money left over for a much nicer looking (than this Ferrari) 1969 Stingray 427.

I'd probably have enough left over for a Shelby 427 Roadster kit car, 572 powered '32 Ford, 1962 Deville convertible, 1959 Buick Electra, 1959 Dodge & a 1963 Stingray.

That Vette looks very good with those aftermarket wheels...way cool.

GXP is Pontiac's performance line; SS is Chevrolets. Pontiac > Chevy in the GM hierarchy, therefore...

And $4 million for any one single car is ri-God-damn-diculous.
