Somebody will pay... People with money who don't spend time on forums learning about their purchases.
+1 people who buy cars like these already have everything else. can't wait to see it in action.

This car should not be legal.........about 90% of the drivers in this world do not have the skill to handle a 1200 hp 2500 lb RWD car!

^ More like 99.99% can't handle it.

There should be a separate license for cars over 900HP (I'm not sure why I chose that number).

Ok lets do the math and figure out how many Vipers have been used as lawn mowers and left the world backwards into a ditch. And throw in the limited production of these cars. You are looking at the worlds rarest car! In 10 years from now the only ones that will still be intact will be the ones that were never driven once!

Yes, let's do some math:

High HP + RWD + Average Driver - Traction Control = Broken Car

I have driven the car and lived to tell about it. And I am an average enthusiast driver. It does not require a professional license to go fast in this car. But like any other fast car it does require common sense and respect. The fact that the car is so light and has a lot of its weight over the rear tires makes it easy to hook up and accelerate like a hot knife thru butter. But dont take my word for this. Just wait a while and see what others who have driven the car say about it.

If you read my signature, that will tell you that this car is the penultimate car as far as turning big air molecules into small ones. Are you telling me that it actually can use that kind of power?
