yeah thats what I thought too, but it jsut doenst look good at all. I think I like that Blue, or just give black and call it the day. I usually like wheels that are very open and you can see the brake disc, but damn, this wheel is too open. If you paint the rims black, you will have some sort of spokeless rim effect..

I would be surprised if it weighed in at anything less than around $95K.

i dunno
370 lb-ft
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....ber=5&preview=

no need for torque since there are 7 "clutchless" gears, you'd have to be pretty lazy if you can't switch gears. I dont think that setup will even allow too much torque

gobs of torque will just lead to a heavy drivetrain, and at the track too much torque will be a hassle.
usually low rpm, high tqr engines Viper, Corvette, domestic cars, they run out of steam as they redline, and they have a heavy gearbox.

Enzo only makes 485lb-ft at a lofty 4800rpm.
