WOW, just WOW.
How much $$$ goes into a 1300+ HP engine. I used to think building a 400 HP engine was expensive. Technology has come a long way.

Cleetus McFarland says Leroy makes 1500+hp. It's also the fastest stick shift vette in the world.

If you want to play with the big boys on the street these days you really need closer to 3000 horsepower. There are a lot of cars running around with 2k plus to the wheels.

Not a GTR fan, but this one is pretty amazing:

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."
