Flooring the accelerator is plainly cataclysmic, and something I couldn't do for very long at any one time since the CCXR can reach 60 mph in 3 seconds and best the top speed of the Tesla, 124 mph, in less than 10. The power is aided in this quest for velocity by a chassis that is largely constructed of carbon fiber and aluminum, keeping the overall weight of the car to 2,821 pounds, fully 503 pounds less than the Corvette ZR1.

thats just crazy excess.

sweet, sweet excess.



(i'm glad to see they kept the wing on it though.. iirc, it was more than a little "tail-happy" without one.)

But mark my words, if she ever returns my calls, the next time we go out we will be drinking corn juice, even if I have to drive her all the way to Indiana to get some.

It shouldn't take too long.

If I have to die in a car, I want that to be the one.
