This car goes "out for a spin" every month to keep it from breaking down. Two months ago I got to drive it with the gentleman in the picture as my side seat coach. All I can say is that I will die a happy man now. We took a stretch of I-95 to stretch it out once it warmed up and well here are my notes;

-In the space of an average on ramp I was able to go from 30mph - 140mph
-On a flat stretch of 95 totaling 3miles I was able to sustain 160mph and the dam thing felt like I was cruising, it's definately a unique sensation to be in a car going over 100mph for any amount of time ...

The car has a unique feeling due to its balance, almost like it being pulled on a string, while secured to rails ...
