Carrera GT killer?
click here...
this is one insane car! Quicker 0-60 then most cars!
too bad it costs like 80k, and its only available in the UK.
w/ 80k we could probably build a faster one (std. usdm evo), but obviously no warranty.
pretty cool looking too!
BTW now you guys know whats in my avatar

You need to see the Top Gear episode they did on this car. They had it beat a Murcielago on a road course, but kinda slammed it for being completely impractical (no boost in low RPM, horrible turning radius, maybe gas mileage too?). It's cool and impressive that they can do that with only 2L of displacement but it just doesn't quite do it for me.

Yeah man its an awsome car. I would definitely wouldnt mind purchasing that car. I always loved the EVO. Those numbers are also pretty similar to the Corvette Z06 numbers.

What's up with the maintenance on that thing?

yea, in a later episode they mentioned it (i have ~3 seasons worth of TG and some fifth gear eps) that the EVO FQ400 managed their all time WORST fuel economy....~3.4MPG on the track. Also, it was impractical because you have to take it in for service every 4500 miles or so.
