Thank you Captain obvious and your crew

Who the hell cares about what they issued their suppliers to make for them?

Not me!

So im done with this discussion.

See you when they run the Agera on the N-ring or get the resale value of a Pagani ( if they ever do on both accounts)

Until then this is equal to beating a dead horse.

Ile leave you with this:

^Let this sum it instead as your video only dealt with your fascination of drag racing, the important part was left out.

So here comes the rest of the video

Stop posting videos, its clogging up the thread.

Someone mentioned no one has tested the Agera as a road car. I urge you to read the Top Gear review of the Agera, they praise the cars suspension and road drivability.

And The Artist stop saying Koenigsegg had a chance to get a time with Agera R when they did the 402km/h run and photoshoot. It was the Gran Turismo track day event, and as everyone knows the number 1 rule of track days is: No racing! They got space on the straight to do the high speed run, but thats about it. Everything else was for a photoshoot (with a Clubsport F as I'm sure you'd love to hear).

Are you sittning on a 56k Internet modem that it clogs up your thread?

Did not know about the gran turismo deal.. Thnx for the info.

Still in 5 years they could have found a slot

I don't think Koenigsegg cares that much about a 'Ring time. Not only is it difficult for them to secure the track for a day under good conditions and to arrange for an owner to loan them their Agera R, but they have many more important things to focus on. Currently production is running full steam and they are developing a new engine and possibly a new car, so a 'Ring time definitely isn't the first thing on their mind. I don't think it would have an effect on their buyer market anyway. Fast 'Ring times aren't what people who can afford an Koenigegg care about, if they wanted just speed they could buy a Radical LM or a spec race car.

And why haven't Pagani run the Huayra round? They sure have a lot more cars/resources to do it.

Is that fair?
Yes I do think it's fair comparing cars of the same generation tested in the same year by the same mag by the same driver. CCR vs the Zonda S. CCX vs the Zonda F. Clubsport vs clubsport. In all unbias tests the Zegg have proven to be the faster car.

What are You proposing in order for it to be "fair" if I may ask? That we compare the Zonda F to the CCR for the sake of "fairness"? The Agera R has 1140 hp so will just have to wait until Pagani has caught up for it to be "fair"? Should we similarly compare the fit and finish of the Zonda to the Agera for it to be "fair"? Wait for the next Koenigsegg to measure up against the Huayra for it to be "fair"? This is not how it works and you should know this.

Recognizing Koenigsegg's strengths is not taking sides for them or against Pagani but giving credit where credit is due. The problem with you and streetrod is your passion for Pagani makes you want to have it all for your favourite car. It's innocent and endearing but it's not rational and out of line when you go out of your way to clog up a Koenigsegg topic and share your boyhood dreams with people that have not asked for them. You do a wonderful job in the Pagani threads and you should keep it this way. This is the supercar forum, not the Pagani forum. People are allowed to say and think nice things about other supercars without you being offended and going on the defensive. I mean, calling Christian von Koenigsegg classless? Really? This is how we play this game of yours? I am not quite sure who you are or what makes you so special to think this is in order but Horacio and Christian are the modern day Enzo and Ferruccio and should be respected for what they've created without reserve. If you are looking for competition then buy a tennis racket instead of living vicariously through Horacio's and Christian's accomplishments. These cars are supposed to be FUN and you are BORING. You and streetrod should be thankful that you as car enthusiasts get to enjoy two such great men during your lifetime and not exclude one because you prefer the other. The only losers in this situation are you guys because you deny yourself of a pleasure.

Haha no problem! Enjoy your victory.

Dafuq? what comapany has the Ring as no 1 on the to do list?
Ofcouse they got more important things to do.
So did pagani and still do..and they still run the cars.
They will run it in due time be so sure, the Huayra has just started its first customer delivery's.
Im sure it wont take them 5 years.
