It's a really cool car, and the engineering that went into it is very neat. He is at the top of the Snake in Malibu most Sundays. He is a cool guy, but I was a bit put off when he seemed insulted when I asked him how often he tracked it...

Although it's not a street legal car, this one is 2.4 lbs. per hp without a turbo or supercharger, runs on gasoline, and has an S2000 engine.

I find it strange that going to 100mph takes almost 5x as long as going to 60mph.
