I actually don't look at it as a competitor to things like the CGT, Enzo etc. It's not really a 'real' car. It's a toy with no roof that has engine that will cause you to go deaf over any extended period of time, but with that said if I was rich enough to only buy one car like that this would be the one. I would see very little street use even if it is legal...too dangerous to drive that on the street. Other cars would never see you. I would argue in some ways it's more dangerous then a bike. At least in a bike you sit up relatively high. It's practically an open wheel car and those are rarely allowed on track with fendered cars for a reason, let alone the street. It's the super s3x though!

It is an awesome car...if it can become street legal which I know is the goal, it will be the most extreme car in the world for the streets....It literally has an F1 engine!

It gets titled as a kit car. It does not have to pass crash tests, pedestrian friendly bumpers, etc.
