SCC Ultimate Aero TT

I found this clip on Jay Leno's JayLenosGarage.com thought it looked pretty cool. I wasn't actually aware that anyone had beaten the Bugatti Veyron for the title of "World's Fastest Production Car", but evidently the SCC Ultimate Aero TT (priced at less than half of the Veyron at a mere $600,000) has dethroned the European with a great big "Made in the USA" competitor. If I were Bill Gates or Michael Dell, I'd have to get me one of these bad-boys... but alas, "I am just a poor boy from a poor family" and I'll just have to imagine it in my dreams - of course, I'm not sure my family would unleash me with this car even if I had the money, lol.
Some Quick Stats (Bugatti Veyron Stats in parenthesis)...
Top Speed: 257 MPH (254 MPH)
0 - 60: 2.8 seconds (2.5 seconds)
Max Power: 1183 BHP (1001 BHP)
Anyway, enjoy the clip. I'm glad the title, for the time being, is held by the good 'ol USA.

Prius Power!

After finding this video, I've really been unable to decide what I think of this. I like the concept of fixing up Hybrids to make them less bland and give them better performance (both in MPG and speed/handling). I'm not a big fan of stuff that isn't functional, however, and I think that these doors (while they look cool( would really suck for getting in and out regularly. I would like to see a turbo charged Prius with some nice wheels, a cool body kit , and upgraded suspension and brakes. The Kenstyle Body Kit is one of the better ones I've seen for the Prius. I would like to see more Toyota Racing Development (TRD) parts for the Prius, so that an Economically & Environmentally Pious Prius could not be synonomous with the term "dork". As far as the Hybrid Technology is concerned, I have to say I'm the most impressed with the Toyota Camry Hybrid... you get a LOT of bang for your buck and the ability to customize it similiarly to the non-Hybrid versions (I love the TRD Wheels). I'll try to post some stuff dealing with the Hybrid Camry, but in the mean time - and without futher adue - check out this highly modified Toyota Prius Video...
