I saw a picture of a silver C12 (not a C12s) racing on a track somewhere in Pennsylvania. But it could have been brought in from outside the US just for the race. I also know that the ex-president of Argentina has a C12s in carbon-fiber.

There are now offically THREE privately owned Zonda's in the United States... actor Paul Walker (from The Fast and THe Furious) owns own now, he bought it for himself after the movie Joy Ride was finished with production.

yeah i seen one
i see one everyday in my garage. i had it flown in from ny and they do not allow test drives. i drove it from my private airfield and leave it in my garage. I drove it out one night to a local illegal street racing meet that i am associated with and eveyone wanted to race me. i told them that i would only run it once, so, i had my own little tournament to see who i would get to run. a supra won so i agreed to race him. I destroyed him like a bitch. I took him from 1st to 4th and it was absolutely no competitioni topped it out at 170 ish and then i let up. It was just to show off. I agreed to run one last time for them and i gave him a 1/8 mile headstart and still destroyed him in the quarterby almost three sec.
everyone was amazed and i told them i would bring it out once a summer.....the time is comin up and they are beggin me to see it so i think i might no more runs for me though dont wanna mess up my beauty but i luv to listen to my beast sry had to steal that one

Everyone was amazed? So am I, just be careful when you pull it out of your driveway where you are living, they may be shocked to discover how rich you are. Man!

Zondas in US
there are 3 Zondas in the US, at least based on original sales from Pagani. There could be more at any given point, with car shows, etc.
Pagani is an Argentine; his native tongue is Spanish. He is fluent in Italian as well (not too hard for him -- Italian, Spanish, Portugese and to some extent French are structurally similar). Horacio had a bad foot when we visited, so I didn't get to meet him. His personal assistant took real good care of us. Interestingly enough, I shot some of the cars in their parking lot: - a Mercedes SMART car (small) - a black Mercedes 300CE (W124 E-class coupe) - a dark blue (non-US color) Honda S2000

Zonda importer info
more trivia (from Lambo forums):
The Pagani Zonda made its North American debut at Le Belle Macchine d'Italia in 2000. It is owned by long time event supporter Benny Caiola. NOTE: Benny is a noted FOA member whose stable includes several rare birds, including an F40, F50, F333 racecar, and several historic Ferraris. The importer is former Lamborghini importer Joe Nastasi.

I saw a Zonda in Conneticut at the Ferrari Challenge at Lime Rock Park back in 2000. When I was walking the garage area I saw the car drive by me. Later in the day I had a chance to talk to the owner and take a few pictures of the car. I post them soon.
There were a lot of very nice cars there. Along with the Zonda I saw many 360 Modena's, Several F40's, an F50, an old 57 Testa Rossa, etc... -Eric

OMG, I followed one tonight
I was cruising through Decker Canyon (Malibu Hills) tonight just before sunset and a yellow Zonda C12S came up behind me. I pulled my Miata over so he could pass and I could get a better look at the car. He pulled ahead without even trying and stayed at least 3 to 4 turns ahead of me. I finally caught him on Pacific Coast Highway (risking a ticket to chase him) so I could see what kind of car it was. I came home and hit the internet typing in "Zonda". Yep, that was exactly the car I saw. It looked like the driver was really only cruising, he certainly wasn't pushing it hard. I have to say, after visiting several Zonda sites, that yellow is NOT the best color for these. I imagine they look MUCH better in Silver or Blue. From the back it looks like a cheap "kit" car, but I sure wouldn't throw it out of my garage...*sigh* Must win lottery soon. I'm assuming this is the same yellow that was sighted around Thousand Oaks, since Decker and Topanga connect with TO.

Man chances of owning this compared to the Nissan R390 and McLaren are pretty good.
