    I am not reallly a big fan of the Verion But it is a great Vid & I have watched numerous times , it has some great comments in the vid for sure  :2thumbs:

     i love the comment where he says it is a bit disorientating & he went to open the door before he stopped & looked back at the speedo & was still doing 70  :smilielol:

    That is truly a bad ass car. A local dealership here has one on order and it should be here soon.

    I looked at some other videos, saw that the twin turbo Hennessey Venom beats the Verion in the 0 to 200MPH run, and the standing mile. All that at 1/4 of the price.

    Also watched a Verion vs McClaren video, the verion stomped the mcclaren's ass!  That Verion sounds like a jet going by at full throttle, awesome sound.

    I think a viper is in my future...I've been thinking about it for quite awhile.

    James May was speaking 860k in British Pounds, not U.S. dollars. so its about the same actually.

    This car really is a concorde moment as the Top Gear crew always says and said in this video. Its a car that you could drive Every day if so you wished (you'd have to be brainless to do it), with A/C, heated LEATHER bucket seats, airbags, the works..... and it is also the fastest PRODUCTOIN car in the world. wow...

    That's crazy!!!!  I thought 165-176 mph in a Stealth R/T Turbo was fast!  :22yikes:

    yeah thats a great speed. but the SSC (shelby sportscar company ) just recently passed the record of 407km to 411km. if u watch a new episode of Top Gear you will see in there News section they talk about it.
