Really quick???  It set the record on the Nurburgring course beating the 
old Porsche record by 3 seconds. It does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.  That is 
quick in my book.  When I rode in it and we rocketed up to about 100 
then down to zed in a  short distance my head was spinning...and I do 
not get motion sick.  That bloody car was a RIDE.  On a curvy road it 
was a ton of fun...it is the kind of car if I had I'd be dead very 
quickly. LOL

BTW if anyone wants to read about a shoot I did for it and Snap-On see 
my blog:
