Isn't the M3 GTR in the picture at the top of this page a street-legal car? Mercedes has something similar with its Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, I believe....costs mad loot but it is a completely different car from normal CLK's.

and yeah, I agree with Eric, I don't think the M3 GTR should cost much more than $120,000.

hands down the best car ever the porsche carrera gt. it is such a beautiful car i think number 2 in performance in that list. who knows the mclarens to 60 time? the porsche looks the best (my opinion) very comfortable, i have sat in it before awesome engineering impeccable styling incredible power. you see those brakes?in real life? damn those are awesomely enormous in size. the only porsche i ever liked!!!

3.2 seconds thankyou very much. Remember that that was 11 years ago too!
IMO, nothing really comes close to the Macca in terms of the overall package, except maybe the Carrera GT. The attention to detail on the MacF1 is renowned; I mean, a titanium exhaust system and an engine bay lined with gold tells you a lot about this car yes? And the Macca still looks the goods to me. It's such a timeless design.
The Bugatti? IMO it's an aberration. It's not at all constructed with the desire to deliver the ultimate driving experience. If Maclaren (or Ferrari, or Porsce, or Pagani etc etc) wanted to they could've slapped 4 turbos on a disgustingly large engine too, but they chose to make a car that was an expression of real engineering talent. Maclaren never conceived the F1 to be the 'fastest car in the world'. They wanted to create a car that was the most focussed drivers tool available. I think they succeeded: non-assisted brakes and steering, NA V12 etc. The amazing acceleration and top speed numbers were a satisfying albeit unexpected result.
This, I think, is why the Macca remains the pinnacle of supercars, even to this day.
