    Is this for people who are so super rich and exclusive that us poor folk cant dare gaze upon a complete image of this thing?

    Myspace angles are nice and all, but I like the full picture as well...

    64.5 million dollars! That'll land you a MiG-31! I don't think it is a tough choice between mach 2.8 and a couple of lcd screens.

    @Bluecold: Can't have a wild party in the sky inside of a MiG.

    @Kaiser-Machead: True... But you can get to where the party is at over twice as fast!

    @grok666: You'd also have to stop and refuel 18, count it, 18 times to get the range of the G650. So, you may fly the better part of 3 times as fast, but for every second you're out of the air (or slowing down to land), that gulfstream is hauling ass. It'd be an interesting race actually. I know the G650 would certainly be my choice given the 18 refueling stops.

    @JDickson87: Or purely comfort. Personally, if I have that kind of money to kick around, I'd rather have my ass hauled in luxury, than be strapped to an ejection seat and do it myself.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, that's a good point too. I'd love to get there in my G650, all relaxed (or not, parties are good too), rather than beaten to hell by an interceptor built in the mid 70's. That would not be a comfortable ride.

    @BridgetAntiope: Yeah... I was surprised no body called them out on that. Rolls-Roice sounds like one of those brands you buy at Aldi, like "Craft" mac and cheese and "Heins" ketchup.
