A Bugatti is in a league all its own and after you drive one and get back inside a Lamborghini it feels crude by comparison. There is no finer car. It doesn't matter if it's Pagani or Koenigsegg, they do not come close to the execution and precision of a Bugatti.

You cannot legally drive a Pagani Zonda in the US. There are several (approximately 10) in the US that get driven periodically. Most are here under “Show and Display” titles granted by the EPA and DOT. This permits them to be driven up to 2,500 miles per year.
