^^^ actually Steve....that is an 09-10 model....Xuolu picked up a used 09 model for 52K (the ebay fiasco remember)....

so you get that and add the package for 45-50K and ~100K you have a Supercar....and this car STOCK beats the Ferrari 458 Italia in a quarter mile....leave alone the Audi R8/Lexus LFA/....I bet it will take on the Gallardo and maybe the Murciélago as well....

That's easily one of my favorite GT-R videos. Quite simply, the GT-R in stock form is bad @$$ on the cheap (comparatively speaking)....and then clearly taken to ridiculous performance levels by the likes of AMS and Switzer. (The former in particular taking a nuclear missile to a gun fight.)

There is always the ariel atom...You can call them to find out what you need to do in your state to make it street legal. In SC if you install the motor/tranny/ECU by yourself it is considered a kit car and thus you can register it with the SC DMV with no issues. Then you basically have a road legal indy car.

Unless I can bolt in a child booster and baby seat in the backseat of the Atom and/or have the ability to drive in inclement weather without getting wet, spare me the Atom talk.

No airbag no need for child seat to be in rear! Yea, like you would drive the GTR in snow. You would have it parked in a dark corner of a garage with a cover on it
