....and yes I know F1 cars don't have a roof, but they do have a slight aerodynamic advantage I believe!

And with enough money you can do the rest.

It's a cool idea to have a 962 engine in a 911. You better be as good a wrench as these guys are though.

MMMMMMMMMMM.........................No.................my hands start sweating every time I get behind the wheel of that Nissan....0-100kph in 4.1sec. The guy that tunes it has had it to 275kph on the back straight at sandown and he says it is still pulling...he estimates it would top out at around 320kph.....don't know and never will!!
