0-60 in 1.9, 1500HP out of 12 cylinders, top speed 257... imagine if they redid the aerodynamics now what it could do

If all you have to say about this car is that it's ugly, you really need to brush up on motor-sports history. To see this car drive Le Mans would have alone be worth inventing time travel.

i don't doubt how well it drives. it's got some impressive #s to back it up as well. i was simply commenting on the exterior styling. it ain't that pretty to look at because it's designed for functionality more than aesthetics.
