That's cool all right, but if we're talking fantasy cars I want to go really old school: http://allardj2x.com/

Hoohoo, a beast by any other name! We had one in the club; there seemed to be only one way to drive it: sideways...

wow... nice. I wish we had some roads like that around here... altho, the long drop down you would get with one bad misapplication of throttle would give me pause.

I never realized that a Lotus was THAT amazing, even given the fact that he has modified it extensively.

I know that road very well and I could not possibly imagine how on earth he took some of those curves that fast. I have driven on it with a Miata a few times and I wouldn't dare pass the 40mph mark in the bends. He was easily doing 55....just, wow.

Lotus' are in another league when compared to miata's, or almost anything else.

700hp, that is truly nuts. Hypercar is definitely the word for it.

Wow, I love the Lotus, if I had the money there would be a Lotus in my garage
for sure.
That one is insane....they are so light and this one with 700 hp? It would take
a month of driving it every day to get used to the power-to-weight combination.
If I didn't crash it first!!
