I guess, there IS a limit for a street legal sports car. And we're at the brink of crossing that line. All the high end modified supercars are crashing, that has to say something. Too bad, I really like these cars and followed their development. Just my thinking...

There is a limit to every cars performance and it has more to do with the nut holding the steering wheel or the nuts that put the car together than the inanimate object we refer to as a car/sports car/super car etc. Resistentialism sums it up quite nicely :D

It's the same problem fighter jet designers are facing, humans can't keep up with that kind of speed. Until we evolve or merk frost mutates us, machinery such as cars and planes will perform well beyond our biological limits.

i WANT so much to like this car, but that old cliche of "it looks like an R8" applies here, you cant deny that profile shot. and then on top of that the whole vehicle kind of looks like a kit car racer in some areas like the side intake with those rivets looks horrible, to me it just does not look like the precision and build quality, that porsche is known for.

997- I just commenting on how FOXHOUND is saying that its another R8 look alike. And as for the 9ff being a flop, every new car will have its failures in the beginning. Look at the Zonda C9 and the new Porsche that in testing right now, they both have had crashes. Personally a car with that much power is a waste on the streets, I just like the style of the body.

Yes, the Veyron is still the proper deal. The rest are a bunch of quasi workshops pushing out experiments with no significant science backing them up. Dangerous stuff if you think about it.
