0- 60 3.2 seconds, max speed 237mph.
Things too look out for: Dont buy one previously ownd by a Mr R. Atkinson, dont buy one without an exhaust... they cost about £30,000 apparently . You could always get a powerflow put on though

my m8 had a crashed one come to his garage, got towed there, and mclaren came in a big truck, put it in the back, got everyone to sign something and fecked off.
They were a bit hush hush
That was the one that hit a tree and exploded near Braintree.

I used to have a video of one doing 390kph round a massive oval test circuit.
£22,000 service bills.
But, the bonus, it has air con, leccy windows etc. Its expensive, but its designed to be used all teh time.
oh, the added bonus that nothing on the car will ever rust/rot. If maintained, it should last for hundreds of years.
Thats cool thoug, when everyones flying about in their space cars, the owner could just go up the old M1 flat out
