If you own a Pagani Zonda for which you payed $500,000 or so we have really bad news for you. It's worthless right now, since the Ferrari F12, which costs a little less, is much faster.
What, you want proof with that? At a recent drag racing event called Vmax200 Quicksilver, British drivers pitted their supercars against each other to see which is better. A yellow Pagani Zonda S went up against a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta with disastrous consequences.

Not surprisingly, the Ferrari F12 walks all over the Zonda because it has an obvious technological and power advantage. While the supercar from 10 years ago has to make due with a "measly" 550 hp from a 7-liter engine, the Ferrari V12 offers 740 PS despite its block being smaller (6.3-liter V12).

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
