I love this car. In the TOP GEAR episode where it goes head to head with the Veyron, the Bugatti won by a nose. Damn impressive considering the car is 10 years old

The F1 still looks fantastic to my eyes. I've been meaning to ask you 1SICKLEX, since you seem to have all the great print articles still... I remember a comparison in Car&Driver of sporty coupes circa 1992-93. It would have had cars like the Ford Probe GT, Nissan 240SX, Toyota Celica. Mazda MX6 among others. It would be great to read that again. Do you have that one?

LMFAO I could not even afford to pa the taxes for it. So How difficult is it to keep a hyper car under the U.S speed limit?

I remember reading this article and thinking it goes 0-100 as quickly as a liter bike. That's impressive for a street legal car.
