But I dont expect you've had a road painting machine drive over the top of you.

Now THAT's a CAR ! Colour scheme is wrong, though. Needs to be Shelby American racing blue with white stripes. Otherwise, marvellous..!

Why the fuss? My Cerbera does that!


But not for long when you put it on a race track, as Martin Short found out last year...gearbox, diff, halfshafts etc not up to the job.

So this costs 100K USD in race ready form - looks like a comparitive bargain! Isn't the race Tuscan Speed 6 something like 70K GBP plus engine lease?

What are you on about? Shorty did the six hour race at Suzuka and finished 2nd in class. He only used two engines all season (including Suzuka) I don't think the diff let him down once.
I think you should get your facts right.
If the Viper drives anything like the RT10 I drove recently then I'd pay $100,000 NOT to have my name on the list!!!
It does look the dogs bollox though....

The comparison was with the Cerbera last year which was a painful year of development for Martin with numerous engines, driveshafts, cooling problems etc.
