Just a comment regarding it being overpriced for it's performance... last I checked 7:24 on the 'ring is insanely fast. Faster than the CGT even. But again, I would not buy it, unless of course I had absolutely nothing else to do and I was super bored and had entirely too much money for my own good, then I probably would... and drive it every day.

3 months from the official for sale date in the US, anybody know what that is?
there is no, and will not be an official time for the 'ring cause lexus said "its not important to them"... whatever that means

But you won't have my $1 by February, Mark. Hopefully you have another to bet with 
Jag: Alex has been hustling on your motor lately. I think your timing is accurate...assuming it all fits!

Here is the silly thing about the bet. There is no way to ever verify that all 500 sold. All we can do is look for that 100 in southern California and see if there is some reasonable evidence that there are 100 floating around town. Keep in mind that's more than Lamborghini ever sold Murcielagos in that market in a single year, in fact, on average Lamborghini sells 100 Murcielagos in the entire US. Again, I don't know of a single Murcielago owner who's going to jump for one so that means that they either add it to the garage, (I doubt) or they have to find 100 new buyers who THEY select!

I'm guessing that if they don't sell as many as they plan or meet their quotas they will lighten up their screening process. I'd go out on a limb and compare it to when you get to a bar at 11 you are going after 10's but when 2am rolls around you'll settle for a 1.
