    DEFINATELY, CdocZ, I wasn't taking ANY credit away from Jay's car, just pointing out how many cars in that ballpark that we see on the roads over here

    There are dozens more if you want to include specials, one-offs, tuner show machines and limitefd production cars like the RS200 from Ford

    Yamaha R1 is the highest power to weight I've ridden ( 816bhp/ton ) easily beating the Radical !!! Harnessing it is just s trifle panic-inducing

    yeah, 4200 lbs so it aint gonna be pretty on the handling front as a performance car but I'm hoping it's comfy !! Power/weight only counts for acceleration, give no insight to handling or braking - but I'm sure you already new that.

    Actually lighter than I though it woudl have been with the description of it, so I guess it's not a fully sperate chassis and body and taht it's built a little bit smarter.

    I still lust after all the cars in his garage and he's a lucky man being able to chose to take a car out on a day from a selection that offers him probably the widest range of performance/handling/loks/comfort and just raw appeal
    Well besides the Sultan !!!!

    It is actually still a fully separate chassis and body. I watched them build it on the show. If I can ever find a ripped file for that show, I'll post it here.
    I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.
