Personally, I think the Venom is a hackjob "supercar." Yes, its fast, but its pieces of an Elise held together by pieces that Hennessey has fabricated.

I don't know if any of you have ever been in an Elise...but A) I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing if it went 200mph (too small) and B) its not exactly the most comfortable car.

Anyone these days can make a engine with wheels on it, but look at all the luxury you get with the Bugatti and Pagani.

True, but my comment was based purely on performance figures.

I thought this was pretty cool. A sixty-three year old driver racing his 1963 Galaxie at the Sandown Historics in Australia. The 63/64 Galaxie was the sister car to the Mercury Marauder of the same year. Love seeing these old girls run around a track.

Yep. Out of a sub $90k car

The tweaks they did to the launch control were great.

You guys know how I feel about the GT-R, but 10.8 in the 1/4 on street tires is amazing

Thats what adds to the excitement. Very few forms of legal racing puts the spectator in the action.
