I can appreciate the perf numbers, but to me it looks like a grown up version of the car from "Hardcastle and McCormick"  I'm not sure what it costs, but whatever it cost I could probably buy 2 or 3 cars that would satisfy me forever

It's about $100k if you want a turnkey solution. If you want to put it together yourself, I believe the kit costs around $27k plus drivetrain.

Not so fast, I bet with my luck, they'll be unwilling to sell it in rolling chassis form.

The only thing is that its a purpose built car to go fast, same thing goes toward TVR.
Just wondering if they tested the Veyron yet?

Isnt the veryon a boat? I doubt it has the braking to beat that. And despite how fast it is to 60 (seen anywhere from 2.5 - 3 seconds), its not that much faster on its best day. 2.5 sec. vs. 2.6 sec. I doubt it could beat this.
Though to be perfectly honest, I'd rather have the Veyron.
