Side view looks nice, but the aero on the back looks like foreskin.

Quarter mile at 12.3....


...trapping at 140


That completely redefines e90post tales of "You can take him down low, but he'll kill you up top.

Nope.... quite the opposite ... its a GT so none of that 'going through the gears like a bat out of hell' bs. Its got high gear ratios, so that you have to red line it to shift smoothly to the next (something like an F1 engine or the current generation of M cars). that is why it take long to get to 60, but then the acceleration is relentless.... it wont win any 1/4 mile medals, but after the half mile mark anyone racing this beast better start saying his prayers.............

So who's going to the first one to post " I just beat a GT9 at a stoplight to stoplight race" ?


Isn't this supposed to be the Veyron killer?

I can see it coming along with "....and as I got ahead of him the babe in the passenger seat of the GT9 gave me a smile and blew me a kiss."
