      Car and Driver magazine test April 1984 issue. 0-60 mph 5.8 seconds; 0-100 mph 12.7 seconds; 1/4 mile 14.4@108 mph; Braking 70-0 mph 218 feet; skid pad 0.85 g. The curb weight was measured at 2474 lbs. This was done on then new tires and with short gearing which limited top speed to only 144 mph. I hope this eliminates all those estimates. Thanks.

      If someone was crazy enough to do high rpm clutch drop/full gas/no mercy redline acceleration run in this 36 million dollar car and then do equally traumatic emergency stop at 230 kph, this is the data one would end up with (see est. perf figures above)

      Off-topic: I know BR2 find it hard to find value in a car costing 1 million, but another luxury item which is even harder to justify would expensive watches and I woul agree that they are a waste of money

      HOWEVER there is one watch I saw on a vscause vid called midnight planetarium which shows you the position of the planet and the star maps movement as of currently, all the planets ( up to Saturn) has exact time movement which means mercury will take 88 days to circle the watch and Saturn will take 29 years

      Impressive engineering worth the 245k I would say

      I'd pick a series 1 250 GTO

      Interesting fact: 36 series 1 GTOs were built, 3 series 2 GTOs and 4 series 1 were converted to series 2 bodies

      @ Flabernat: I totally agree! If I had a Ferrari 250 GTO, you can bet your sweet December I'd drive it, every other day, church, work, grocery shopping, road trips, I'd use it.

      The whole reason we love cars like this is because of how special it is to drive them.
      Buying this for 52million to park in a garage completely defeats the purpose of buying a car like this.

      @ BR2+: I have to agree with you, there. no car is worth $52,000,000, I don't car how much of a classic it is. If I buy a car, I'm going to drive it, if it's in running condition but I can't drive it, it's not worth buying, not worth a plug nickel.

      52.000.000 !?!

      Well, as much as I love the car, as much as I love cars. 52.000.000 is a price I would never, will never spend on a car, no matter on which...

      I saw one of these at Carfest South 2013 (laverstoke park farm) owned by Nick Mason. Apparently he refused £20 million for it!!

      @CoolShirtGuy
      You are right, the 917 did the fastest laptime ever to be recorded around Le Mans. Jackie Oliver drove the 13,569 km long circuit, with an average speed of 244,387 kph, in 3:18.4 minutes during a race.
      The fastest qualifying laptime was driven by Hans Joachim Stuck in a Porsche 956.
