PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 That's pretty impressive. My only concern is my friends with a Prius get blown all over the road in there hybrid from crosswinds. How heavy are these cars? Quote

That is just crazy right there.. 461418[/snapback] I can respect that. My Talon will pull sub 4's 0-60s(on slicks) and still gets 26 some mpg combined, so to me thats pretty usable. Again, no matter what anyone says, there will always be a use for a 200+ mph supercar for someone. It's all about who has the bigger wee wee. Quote
