I confess I still play Quake I on my old laptop. I still love that game, especially the original with the Reaperbots.

I was thinking the lip on the rear deck is there to stir up air for the turbos so it wouldn't overheat or something like that.

Why would anyone want their car signed by John Carmack, not like he's anyone significant.

Just read the C&D article. Wow what a beast. They say you can never get the accelerator pedal flat in the first few gears because of wheel spin. I wonder if that wicker bill along the top edge of the car's tail helps aerodynamics?

I've got a picture of that car blowing by me at TWS. It was certainly fast in a straight line.Upload

I wonder if Carmack still has the F50 twin turbo? maybe he'll get his hands on an Enzo once they reach the "pre-owned" market

Wonder if that latest dyno number of 700HP is running on the 11 cylinders?

I just posted that in the Texas section too. Met Bill and the TR at one of our Exotic Car Nights a few months back. Haven't seen him since.
