    That's like saying, why buy a Z06 when you could buy a Miata and use the extra 75k to mod it. You pay for the quality, heritage and styling second to none. I don't think SLR owners have to worry about their roofs flying off at 30mph...

    I'll take just one, and a Carrera GT

    BTW, you could buy 4 CGTs for the price of the Veyron.

    Neither do Z06 owners since the Z06 is a fixed roof, thats the base C6 coupe with the roof issues which have been resolved and recalled.

    There have been many other cases with the Z, including a video where a guy just leaned back and kicked it off.
