Are you required to wear a batman suit while driving it? I don't think I see the market; not very many 12 year old boys have that kind of cash.

Put that technology in something that doesn't look silly and you will have something.

I don't know where that Viper engine pic came from- The VenomGT has a supercharged LS9 V8 stuffed into a Lotus Elise.

At a price tag like that I would feel guilty driving that thing around.

I always wondered how people who drive a car that costs easily 6 figure feel comfortable on a road with tin cans that costs probably 10 or 20 thousand dollars.

I hope they have the best comprehensive insurance in the world!

I was wondering that myself when I saw a Bugatti Veyron on Pico during rush hour.

Is it really based on a Lotus or is it really shameless copying?

Yeah I also noticed the "ls9 power" then viper motor pic.

They can afford to fix them so its not much of a concern.
