Pretty good all around performance numbers.

"The car also holds the best-recorded speed for navigating the slalom (73.1 mph), and bests all others in the ever-important weight-to-horsepower ratio (2.33). "A lot of people think that powerful, American supercars are only good at going straight, but our car will out-handle just about anything that you put next to it," Shelby says. "When Road & Track tested a pre-production version of our car, it broke the Ferrari Enzo's slalom course record."

I've "driven" that car on Project Gotham Racing 4 on my Xbox 360...it's remarkably difficult to control, but once those tires hook up, it moves damn quick.
