How much does an F1 car cost to make? Estimates are in the MILLIONS.
This dude got a three year old model for about the same money as a clean original 6. Talk about depreciation! Anyway, the dude is turning it into a trackday car. How awesome is that?

If I had the money to have something cool sitting around I'd be all over something like that. I think you'd be crazy to race it unless you had money coming out your ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) but for that price many could afford to have it sitting around.
