I listened to the video about this. Can you really write that off?? I would think that the amount is way to much especially on a single item. Anyone able to elaborate??

Doubt he'd have paid that much if he couldn't write it off or down.

Moron just the same. He would have been far better off buying the last ten of these, drive the crap out of 9 of them and keep the LAST one for speculation. It's the last of the breed that will bring the bucks, not the first. Just look at what the last Stingray did last year. You never hear about the first Stingray...

All I see is some ghetto bling. Supposedly, there's a nice drivetrain under all that crap.

According to the Winding Road article I got in the mail today it's got 620HP...



How disappointing, I know of a certain engine that produces that in N/A form
