Yup !!! When it come to mods, I get use to see numbers like 500 hp, 600 hp...etc. and don't think much about it. What really caught my eyes were the spec of 0-60 2.2s and 0-125 5.3s !!!!!!

580 hp @ 6900 rpm
430 Tq @ 4300 rpm
0-60 2.2s
0-125 5.3s
That is impressive considering the Veyron is 2.5 to 60mph and a hard launch Boss Mustang is 1.9 sec with a 10.6 @ 135mph quarter mile and beats some past Indy cars. I'd like to read the article.

the lotus is probably closer to a older indy car then a real car. The whole thing is just basically a frame with a giant carbon fiber panel over it. If you open of the rear cover, you can see the entire skeleton of the car.

Getting into a lotus is almost as embarassing as getting into a indy car.
