ya i remember seeing that on the discovery channel a few months back, you'd never even have a chance of being able to use that engine to its full potential lol. id hate to have to see the bill for getting an engine overhaul.

yeah that car is absolutely righteous.. but for the price you could get a couple of 911's, a 7 series BMW, a ferrari, etc :p I think it runs like, a cool mil. Which is one third of what your average american makes in his entire life =p Also, I think it weighs like 3800 lbs, been about a year since I read up on it.

Or it's that wannabe manual that they have now. Where you can be either automatic, or clutchless manual... You know, the electronic shifting. I can't remember the name.

every car company has their own patented name for it... like for instance, i believe on a VW they call it a "manualmatic" or "manumatic" or something like that... maybe i'm wrong about this and there is just one generic name for the whole deal... not sure now...

but anyway, i wouldn't even care if it was an auto if it was that fast... since i wasn't shifting, i'd use my extra hand to wave to the driver in the MANUAL corvette or viper i was blowing away

I'd love to see you hit 60mph in 3.2 seconds with a manual gearbox!!!
