I would add one thing (or, rather take away) from that Pagani Zonda C12S, the speed limiter. Yup, its limited to 155mph, but the speedo goes to 390 kph (240mph).
I guess because its a mercedes, but good choice, its rare (only 20) and looks really cool

Yes, it sucks. They R&T should have said it was speed limited. You could probably get the speed limiter removed, though. I have got my info from a couple of sources, and found one. See the December 2000 issue of Car and Driver, page 97. Oh well.

Adam:
I dug out my pile of C&D, and I'll whole-heartedly back-up Chris, who correctly quoted C&D's listed stats stating that Top Speed (governor limited) is 155 mph. I will add that that figure was printed as "Manufacturer's performance ratings," not as test data. No where in the text of the article do they mention any actual testing, other than driving it on the streets of New York.
It seems to me that a car that sets you back 300 large, and is one of only twenty made that year, would be able to have it's governor removed as easily as the wrapper off a candy bar. What made you pick this particular ultra-rare supercar as your favorite? How did you even hear about it if not from the C&D article? Did you know that same issue of C&D has an article about the Aston Martin Vanquish? Dude, go to the library and bring dimes for the copier!

It has the speed limiter because they use a mercedes engine, but a seperate transmission, a nice, in-house six-speed. And RennTech has removed the speed-=limiters, I think.
