Well, I did enjoy the second page - the part about the MR shocks soaking up all the bumps in the road, the cushy leather interior, the Bose audio, the smooth burbling V8.
In all seriousness, the braking distance (97 feet?!?) and the cornering ability (1.1 g ?!? - does that mean I can climb walls?) are even more shocking than the speed and acceleration. I wonder how the aftermarket will react to all of this. I remember when the Z06 came out and people were replacing their titanium exhaust with Borla...

it doesn't produce 3500+ lb downforce...so don't try to run your zr1 upside down
automatics can handle the torque, shift quicker and more consistently than manuals.
