Looks like it would be fun and also has a lot more left on the table in the video.

I think they are working on a Hayabusa derived V8 with 500hp. That will light your hair on fire for sure.

Thing isn't cheap either. $37k +.

This has some better build photos.

I'm gonna go with yes, the Radical is a better car, the dp4 kit car in the first post doesn't appear to have anything in the way of real aero on it.

Or you can find a previous generation Stohr for 25-35K like the one SundayDriver has as an Avatar. True aero car with tunnels and all. Or even better there are some F1000 conversion cars that have popped up recently that are nearly the fastest car in club racing for under 15K.

Be cool to be a ka-billionaire and have a track with 15 of them for your friends to race with.

Do you have a link to an ad on the F1000?
Thanks.

, that's about it C.J.! I figured in building a private track and putting 15 of these "disposable" cars on it for my friends to create havoc with... Now if we want to have a whole facility with bungalows, etc. he/she would have to be a kazillionaire..
