OK, OK. Mark this day on the MRF official calender of firsts....I, Racer X have just been impressed by a current model car.
There, I said it. And it was almost as painful as I feared.

I was just reading about Scott Storch. He's a hip hop producer who was dating Lil' Kim. He's produced or written for some big names and has some big hits. He's also a member/former member of The Roots. I was reading the lyrics to a song by "Game" (or is it "The Game"?) and he says something about "when Lil' Kim was dating 'Scott'", and so I Googled "Lil' Kim +Scott" and that's how I gained this fascinating knowledge.

Based on a G5 power plant?
I still have PERMA GRIN!!!!!
I never had one, but I did have a red-tail hawk when I was a kid.
The guy in bro's pick looks like he's out of some B parody movie. But when you've got that kind of money, I guess you can dress as bad as you wannbe.

THAT was an impressive video.
I've liked the look of that car, futuristic with retro styling cues. Reminds me of the old D-Type Jag.
When the narrator said of reaching 253mph "Bugatti says this 850,000 lb. car can do it..." I thought "WTF??!
Then I realized- "D'oh! 850,000£ car..."
That still got a " WTF?!" but it was more like a "wtf".
Procedures... "I like procedures." That was too fsckin' funny!
I can just see somebody in a hemi, or tricked out Integra pulling along side the Veyron at a stop light, gunning the motor...
Insert the Special Key and the Veyron rigs for the jump to hyperspace, and the challenger realizes they've just made a tactical error.

I saw a Car Craft article in the mid 90s about a twin turbo Mustang doing over 200 mph. Over 1000 hp. They blew a silicone cooling hose, and locked up the engine in about 15 seconds though. Given the extra decade of technology, I can see someone doing 250 this time. But that was a one-off.

I'd rather have a McLaren F1. It will do "only" 240mph, but better looking (subjective, yes), can carry two passengers, and has a real pedigree.

The factory drivers have wrecked those F1s when showing them to customers.
