That's history, the best time now is by a new Donkervoort.

They totally should've used tin foil, because then it would've cost much less. I mean, that's what they were going for, obviously.

Gold is one of the best heat reflectors availabel, so how else woudl you keep the passenger bay cook when it's that close to the engine ??
Nothing in the F1 was "for show", it all had purpose.

i said faster than the ford because it seems about where it would fall into place. If it was faster than the GT then it ould be in the 1:18s with the ferrari enzo which seems impossible to me, if it beat teh ford that would just mean around 1:20, more realistic.

It definitly should be faster than Enzo, Enzo is heavier and it has a lower top speed.

dude the highest speed ever achieved by any car during a lap on their test track is 186mph which was done by one of the 2004 renault f1 cars. somehow i don't think top speed would matter, it's all about cornering speed...

The F1 apparently has worse handling than the Enzo anyway, so its a question of straight line speed against handling through the twisties
