Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am not that fast. I am more then content driving my slow little GT3 around the track for now.

I don't have the ability to drive the cup car how it is truly meant to be driven. It would be wasted on me.

It is though, a beautiful sight to behold. The cup cars are works of art, inside and out.

Not fast? Right... You are not slow either - you could have fun with a Cup car.

There is just something mean and purposeful looking about a cup car isn't there? Meant for nothing other then going around a track very, very fast. No radio, no leather seats, no AC. Purpose built. I want one.

Here is one that was at Streets of Willow last weekend. They said it was fresh off the boat from Germany. Awesome car and the sound was AMAZING.

Yes, but isn't it a risk you'd be willing to take? Me? I'm drooling over a chance to drive one.

I did not say I never drove a cup car.

I have done some shake down tests on a few cup cars and they are amazing pieces of machinary.

I really do love them, but right now, for me, they are to impractial and I have no place to put it.

I just bought a new car last month and have another one on order. Too many cars... not enough room.
