    Can an F1 stop in two seconds from 150? Doubtful...
    Also I read somewhere that the 0-100-0 time of an F1 car is around 8.4-7 seconds. Im calling bull$hit

    *edit* booted up the 2007 F1 game and did a few runs for a simulation comparison.
    0-150-0 average from 3 runs = 12.1 sec
    0-150 average from 3 runs = 9.3 sec
    0-60-0 average from 3 runs = 7.6 sec
    150-0 average from 3 runs = 2.6 sec

    Although bullshit claims abound, it's cars like this (and that Maxximus Ultima) that keep the faith in me that some enthusiasts are just as mental and envelope-pushing as they were 100 years ago and more. Good claims if they can be reached.

    I really think that they are not pushing the tech envelope. They are just using race technology in a road car.

    Race teams in certain series (e.g. F1) are pushing the envelope, since they are adopting new technologies. These guys (same with the Ultima Maxximus guy) are just playing smart with existing race technologies, by applying it for road use.

    Will have to see if this is road legal and if so will it last for more than 1/4 mile.

    Upon a 2nd reading of the article, I actually started to laugh. Seriously, is this guy an idiot or something? He may as well say it'll have a 7,000,000 BHP nuclear black hole for an engine and will hit the speed of light twice in 9.2 seconds. I'm just hoping that nobody is really this misinformed about cars and he's just late for the 1st of April.

    orlly?!

    they also messed up with the displacement, claiming it was a 381 cu but providing a stroke/bore good for a 382 cu.

    Schumacher is going to drive it.
    I know it is giving this car waaaay too much credit to assume it will ever work, but doesn't Schumi not like closed-wheel cars because he cant see the understeer?

    You would figure a group like this would have a website too, given how much money they must have to have poured into this car.....

    Well, having done much of the design work on the MT900, I'll say this, and this is just my opinion....the B.S. runs deep with this one. I see no way Gocha could have done much, if any of the mods he claims. I'd love to see him prove me wrong, but I won't be holding my breath.
