NASCAR Sprint Cup cars get about 4 mpg...

Forced induction would require more fuel, and therefore likely lower mileage.

They forgot to list another one that was lost. The one the guy decided to do a water test on outside of Texas City when he drove it into the marsh after avoiding a pelican.

The truth on that one came out later, he dropped his cellphone and lost control while reaching for it.

That car is being rebuilt by a Salvage company IIRC....

Personally, I don't think it's the coolest looking car. For that type of many you could have a fleet of awesome cars. I'm greedy so I would spend that cash on several cars instead of one with ridiculous maintenance costs.

If money was no object, you would have one.

That was a gut wrenching wreck. To see such a beautiful car go so quickly.
