Did anyone see Top Gear on BBC tonight?
Jeremy test drove this car which has F1 like Hp/weight ratio but is street legal (in the UK of course).
Here is the Video:

Thanks for sharing. I would trade my 911 for that, but I keep the big wing :D

I think a certain owner of another exotic car would lobby the sanctioning body to rule that you remove half your plug wires......

Looks like it only broke twice in that test. Better than the other times, when it crashed, caught fire, etc. I don't think they've got all the bugs worked out yet. :D

At about $470,000USD, I think I'd rather have a Carrera GT, plus a GT3RS with the change.
