So it is possible.

Sure, if you fold the seats down.

Fitting title, indeed. That's beyond crazy, this makes the Isle Of Man TT look sane (because that's "only" time trial). I completely approve.

Incredible. 2.92g cornering!

Edit: fastest outright, but it blew an engine recently so it's only running 600hp instead of the usual 900hp. Could have been even faster.

[Eye-Q]

Obviously the advert was shot on a cold day, that's what warm exhaust gases do when they meet cold air: they condense.

and it makes the car look great in an advert.

All cars did that, nobody would have batted an eye. I remember our old 1991 Rover 214 used to leave a smog cloud behind it in cold weather.

Funny how that, when completely stock, the Nova GTE doesn't actually look that bad...

From another board: "I work for a little fabrication/powdercoating shop, here's one of my boss's projects. Early '80s Caprice with a 500hp Olds 455. Suspension fully gone through, polygraphite everything, tubular control arms, massive sway bars, rear discs, etc etc etc. Drives like a giant go-cart. "

It skids constantly and if you don't lean into every turn you end up on your face?
