Yes, a go-cart that can hang with supercars.

Yes, a go-cart that can hang with supercars.

there are a few flaws to that statement, 1: Center of gravity is pretty fucked up, add the fact that the engine is on the passager's place. 2: It's all but aerodynamic
I'd love to see it perform in curves, really, and count how many times it rolls over 

And it's ugly

 Ford Shelby GT500...

*drewls profusely*

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

that's a gocart with teeth, that is. Damn. I wonder what the power/weight ratio is.

As compared to some of the things the Top Gear guys have demo'd, like, say, the Ariel Atom. Or the Bugatti Veyron :-)

[LigerJet]

Oh c'mon.  It didn't tip over while doing those crazy donuts.  I'm sure the weight of the engine in the passenger's place helps balance it.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vyb-n-W0RQ  ...I want to kick the people standing so close to the car, and the driver for performing so close to them in this vid, though.  Idiots.

I just saw this one today...
Mercedes SLR shweeet

They're sooo ugly, but they're sooo fast!

Faster.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Someone posted that on the NFS site I go to, and it's not the fastest street-legal car.  It just accelerates really quickly.

[Gornemant]

and it's butt ugly

I don't know about -all- the fastest street legal cars..but wouldn't fastest acceleration qualify it was one of the fastest, even if it doesn't have the highest top speed?

0-60 in 1.0 second should win SOMETHING, at least.

[God-Beast]

like a Porsche GT1 for example? :p

[xHaZxMaTx]

I'm fairly certain that's horrifyingly ugly.  Yes, I'm almost positive.

[bill]

The styling just doesn't fit. The rear end is especially bad.

[God-Beast]

yeah?

you guys show something better!

[bill]

By the way, I will give props to the GT1 on speed, but not on looks. Eww.

[xHaZxMaTx]

I've already posted several things better.

Mazda Miata MX-5
Koenigsegg CCX
Porsche Carrera GT

Spyker C8 much?

[xHaZxMaTx]

Shiny.   All that chrome must weigh it down.

[LigerJet]

Oooh...Spykers are definitely far out looking, but still beautiful cars.

That with the red firebird emblem on the hood is one of the few cars I'd want if I went for looks.  Doesn't have to be any specific year though.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Snap, that's one sexy lookin' muscle machine.

[DigitalMan]

Well cripes. If you guys can want that, then I want my giant truck to have a faster-than-light engine I'd say that's equivalently realistic for most of us.

Mommy 

I know what I want under the tree

[xHaZxMaTx]

Haha, stupid internet.  The image only loaded to the top of the roof and I could already tell what car it was.

[bill]

Soz, but that's a damn ugly front end.

Anyway, I want to mention the Merc CLK GTR proto.




Sex. The car was fast, beautiful, and awesome. The only problem was that it liked to do...


This...

and this.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Hey, I actually saw the race that last pic is from.

[bill]

It actually happened THREE times to that car. Twice in practice, and once in the race. After Dumbreck flew into the trees, the Mercedes team withdrew the other cars for obvious reasons.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

That's -really- impressive.

Did anyone get hurt?

[bill]

Nope. Mercedes hasn't gone back to sportscars since, though.
