DancingBenzos is infamous around these parts
The most realible supercar you can buy is the Pagani Zonda, its a Mercedes AMG hand built 7.3 Liter V12, that was tested by driving all across europe. Ive heard nothing but praise about this engine, and its also designed to be a daily driver, i believe it has fully adjustable suspension.

Is there a dealership in the US that sells and services a Zonda? I am not aware of any. I searched their Web site and there is no dealer in the US. I am not sure if it is street legal here.

You'd probably be better off just PMing some of the CGT owners here who can give you much more insight to this.

Talking

I have over 7000 miles on my car and have not had 1 problem. I bought the car to drive on a daily basis. I think that the car drives better now that it did brand new. I think the CGT is well built and can be a daily driver. I know of a guy that has 12500 miles on his with never having a problem at all. I would incourage heavy usage. It is to fun of a car not to enjoy!

Congrats to all you guys for putting miles on your CGT's! It would be a damn shame to have such a fine car and not use it.

From the bit of research I've done, I believe Pagani authorizes certain MBZ dealerships in Europe to service their cars. Similar to, but not the same as RUF's authorization of certain US Porsche dealerships prior to opening their North American facility in Texas.

That is true, but the most super cars fail with their engine.


Also ive changed my mind on the best daily driven supercar. I now believe it to be the SLR McLaren Mercedes. Auto Tranny, proven AMG hand built engine, adjustable ride height. 6 disc Bose CD Player, i think its bose, it might be Harmon Kardon though. And a trunk.
