it's not for everyone. Maybe he wanted some attention? He said people flock to the car like flies on shit. Well not exactly that, but that's what I'm thinking its like.

god.. I haven't seen so much hate since my days in Harlem up in the north side of Chicago. I could say a lot of things in return, but I will refrain, because I don't wanna start a big damn flamewar.

it weighs 1900 lbs and has 190hp. it's a fucking street-legal daily-driveable go-kart. 1/4 mile i've seen is 13.4 @ 101 - check this comparison chart at R&T:

don't know. if it's something that could possibly be extra, it probably is.

haha... if I had taken the pics, I would not have included any political slant in them... taken by a friend.

not much

haven't taken it for a spin (yet) - as far as ride is concerned, it feels like a go-kart, it really does. A go-kart with 190hp.

yes - taken by a friend

here's some more - these were all taken by a friend at Grattan Raceway a couple weeks ago. I think the Elise in Blue or Silver looks way better...

Reminds me of an Alienware computer, especially with those choice of colors.
