    Thank God they came out with the "Race Extreme" model. I found the run of the mill "Race" model to be bit too pedestrian.


    Perhaps next they can add some lightness and have the "Agile Race Extreme" model.


    To be followed shortly by the slightly more powerful "Agile Race Super Extreme" model.


    What would the average buyer look like as he was lapped (again) by the talented guy in the Z06? See the last acronym.

    I would use this as a daily driver.


    Don't worry Prius, you'd come out of the garage the first weekend after I bought this, and be set on fire.

    Interesting car, I guess, but it brings up a more interesting question: Why do companies still insist on using EXTEEEEEEME all the goddamn time? It's been fifteen years since Taco Bell's Extreme Summer. Fifteen years! Taco Bell! Think it might be just maybe a little played out? I mean, I have a 1999 copy of the Extreme Bible on my bookshelf.

    Lock eyes from across the garage

    down my drink while the exhausts boom

    take your wheel and shift the gears

    no need here for the silly games

    make our way through the pits and crowd

    the track is the sky and I'm on your cloud

    push the pedal as the flags fly

    our engines rev and the angels cry

    finish this race go in as victors

    our fan holler cheers outside your doors

    a whole season what we've got in store

    whisper in my ear that you want some more

    and I


    JIZZ IN MY PANTS

    This really never happens you can take my word

    I won't apologize, that's just absurd

    Mainly your fault from the way that you drive

    and now I

    JIZZ IN MY PANTS

    don't tell your friends or I'll say your a slug

    plus its your fault, you were revving so free

    I'm very sensitive, some would say that's a plus


    Now I'll go home and change

    @AiDonWaiKit: The ejector seat will blow right through the canopy, right before the car plows- at 200 miles per hour- into the side of the school bus full of crippled children and nuns on their way to sing songs about peace at the United Nations in an effort to stem global violence.


    This car is that EXTREME!

    "the shear rabid awesomeness"


    "Shear" = to cut.
    "Sheer" = unmixed/unqualified.


    Mind you, that stupid thing is sure to shear off some rich buffoon's body parts before too long.

    My local DMV might differ on the definition of 'Street legal'. They'd probably have a collective aneurysm. Which would also work, now that you mention it.


    I would, however, have to move way out into the country, to a house with a heated garage, and at the maximum possible commuting distance. We would need to have a serious discussion about its cup holder count before I sign.

    I'd like to crash this party like so:


    "Hey, caparo your car?" (say it really fast)
    "Yes, of course"


    Proceed to "borrow" car.

    How could a design that looks so good from the front go so horribly wrong in the back. It's like the designer had some sort of seizure half-way through penning it, but his ego prevented him from making any corrections. "No, it's supposed to look like that."
