More than likely... and most are probably kit cars with Ford or Chevy motors.

I know a guy in that has a hanger house on the small airport in down. He doesn't have a plane, just cars and wanted the biggest garage he could get. He has 4 lifts where he stacks he cars when not in use. Old Corvettes and other classic Chevy's. It's awesome... more so that that stupid video.

A base Corvette is now that fast. $46,000 MSRP, 430hp, 12.8sec 1/4, 190mph top speed, 4.3 sec 0-60.

Sure its got the retro nostalgia. To me Lambo and Ferrari really changed the looks as of late, such flowing lines and crazy power.

I'm not saying the Countach wasn't a Super Car in its time, however the Super Car wars have exploded and really left it in the dust.

Countach Performance
0-60: 4.9 seconds
Top Speed: 183 MPH
Engine
420 HP V12
Dimensions
Length: 170 in.
Width: 79 in.
Height: 42 in.
Weight: 3432 lbs.

Remember that this was a 3432lb car in the 80's!!!!!! Hitting 183mph!!!! And the Lambo(New one) is still up there with the best of them for a fraction of what some of the above listed are! A "Supercar" is not all about speed.....it's the whole package. Just because the Countach is no longer made doesn't mean it's not a "Supercar" anymore.....Guess it's big brother isn't a "Supercar" either

Crossed my mind

Other possibilities:

He i s a small Lambo dealer or kits...

Part Lambo yard owner hence the big ass garage that looks to cost at least half of the house and is half the size of the house.

If the guy was really that rich he would have had a nicer house .

He is a dumb ass drug dealer that made money very quickly and decided to buy his childhood poster car 5 times before he realized that his house is too small never know

Hell, new, old, classic, kit car, ect............he's got more money than me. Wife in grad school, two kids in private school, and I have a seasonal job. I'm just happy to have food on the table. New "super car" or not, it's a classic now and I would not turn one down. MABE it's slightly slow by todays standarts but it is sure faster than anything I have.

Did you hear all that silly giggling? They are way to gay to have strippers, probably went in the house after that and played trivial pursuit.

Anyone seen this one yet:

"Koenigsegg CCXR Edition

Price: $2,200,000 (est) | 0-62 mph: 2.9 seconds
Top Speed: 254 mph | Mileage: N/A

The CCXR Edition from Swedish boutique automaker Koenigsegg gives the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 a run for its crown as the fastest, priciest production car in the world. Its 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produces a ridiculous 1,018 horsepower"

Saw it on AOL last night. You can find info at Forbes Auto along with the 2009 super car list, link is:
