    get a motorcycle... for a fraction of the cost, you could get a WSB homologation model, most of them should do 0-300km/h in under 20 seconds.

    always made me laugh when some idiot pulled up next to a bike with his latest GTi or Porshe, and started revving...

    what part of 0-100 in around 3 seconds don't they get

    even a factory sports bike.
    the thing about all that power or speed is nowdays, if your not on a race track, you will probabley loose your license, and the car or bike. maybe go to jail. or the guy in front is only doing 90km/hr and the road is too busy to pass in a car.

    but i still own a couple of fast toys

    Heathen but I agree with you about the traction, pretty impressive. Looks like super bike gearing, 100km/h in first

    Be interested to see how driveable it is, easy to make a really fast car, much harder to make one that you can easily drive every day like VW has done with the Veyron.

    My Hayabusa would do 140+ in first, a mates ZX10 would to 160
    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

    Spud, it's based on an Exige, so should've pretty good. Having said that, it is American, so probably only good in a straight line

    Fastest 0 to 300 Km/h in the world.

    The 5th car hennessey built has 1244 HP using a sleeved GM LS2 6.2 litre block and twin hairdryers @ 20 psi , - no wonder that traction control woke up!!!

    Yeah, possibly, but like a v8 supercar, while based on a commodore, is almost impossible to drive on the road, they would have to change so much to handle that sort of power. Will be good to see a road test by top gear or the likes.
    Even with the evo they recommended the 340hp version over the 400hp one because it was almost undrivable!

    my old clubby would break traction even at 100mph in the rain, it was dynoed at 420hp at the wheels and an estimated 570 engine hp. A mate has a twin turbo clubby that breaks traction at 100mph in the dry, that thing is scary. I love fast cars, bikes or boats
    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money
