640HP vs 1200HP

Or $311,000 versus much much less: Lamborghini Murciélago vs 1200RWHP Toyota Supra

Interesting tidbit on the LP640 from Wikipedia:

Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa is the only person in the world to own a converted automatic Murciélago. The car was given to her as a gift by her husband, but upon realizing she could not drive a manual transmission, Kobe Bryant had the car converted to an automatic. The estimated cost of the car after conversion and customization was US$400,000.

For $90K someone would be learning to drive a friggin’ stick…but then again, I’m wondering why he didn’t just get her one with the six-speed sequential automatic transmission. Who knows why rich people do stupid stuff.
