I recently had a chance to drive a Sports Racer and while I sure don't have any exact figures I would guess the 0 - 60 speed to be in low 3 second range with 100 coming up before my S2000 could reach 60. I felt like I was driving a dragster that would turn. It felt like I had a rocket pack on my back. I LOVED IT!

Just imagine running a 4.48 quarter mi. with a trap speed of 326 and change.... Gary Scelzi does it on many weekends.

Did you know that Top Fuel dragster racers deal with higher G-loads accelerating from a stand-still

....than astronauts do on space shuttle launch, and
....than Naval aviators launching off of a Naval vessel.


Things I picked up from Discovery/TLC channel shows.

Mack, here's a shot of the car. The car has been heavily modded and would not be a legal as a D Sports Racer. It's used for Solo I's and holds several track records.

It looks like a glorified go-kart!
