Pure Madness this machine!! i need one now !!!

Remember the article states about 8 min on a fairly crowded track which is something like 12-13 miles ? long. The lap times should be better with a clean track/no traffic.

Typically they clear the track for manufacturer test, so that the only other cars out there are other maunfacturer's cars with their own overachieving engineers and test drivers.

Once you get it, do you mind driving to San Francisco for a break in and to come by my house just for a little bit

I believe this car should be an Infiniti; however Infiniti *may* get a variant of it, like the G35 is to the 350Z, so we will have to see. Right now I would say this car looks interesting, the spec list is certainly very good.
