in my opinion? you already have the ultimate ferrari, ultimate porsche, you should continue that method and grab the ultimate jag, i saw two xj220 LM's here in California wow, get one of those, Keulyian motosports has them. beautiful cars. you can always find a stradale later on when they depreciate more, but those jags have dropped enough to not worry for the future resale.

XJ220. I heard it has a lot of turbo lag and the brakes suck but it looks awsome and no one else will have one. There is a top gear from a few years ago you might try to find on the XJ220.

no problem sir, i really think you should look into the xj 220 lm's they have, they are beautiful, fitted with infiniti Q45 xenon headlights, 19's kinesis color matched rims, new paintjobs, the works, apparently pushing above 700 hp and under 3000 lbs, go for the black one

According to my source, the XJ220 has lapped the Nürburging in 7.46 back in year 2000!
That's a very impressive time! (faster than 360CS, Murcielago or 996TT if you compare to Horst von Saurma's times which are available at www.track-challenge.com)
Hope that helps your decision a bit
