LOL You would need to spend over $US100k on the motor to see those numbers Stock GT-R does 11's but you could counter that there is no such thing as a stock GT-R

None of Musk's businesses make a profit - he has to maintain a buzz with investors so that he can keep raising capital. Because journalists are lazy and biased, they write stories based on his press releases and events without question. The fact is that Tesla has yet to build vehicles at any significant scale, which is part of the reason demand outstrips supply. Teslas are powered by Lithium Ion batteries, the manufacturing process for which is highly polluting and energy intensive. An Li-ion battery car produces 8-10 years worth of conventional car CO2 just in its battery manufacture. China is the largest manufacturer, at awful cost to their environment. It's very hard to recycle these batteries - nobody has worked out a way to do it economically yet, so like PV panels, most go to landfill. btw solid state batteries don't exist outside of a laboratory. Most people caught up in the electric car hype forget or have little idea of the laws of physics - you don't get something for nothing.

Woah, wonder what happened to the one that was sold at The Gap around 1978? Talk about missed opportunities...
They will look silly with a parachute bolted to the rear and a roll cage as required by the CAMS (10.2 secs?)if you want to run it at the drags. Or they will need to change the refs, The US reg is 150 mph, I see 146 on the printout.

Shannons on Monday night is going off with the Cummins collection but for mine,and any other MG liker's,this should go through the roof,they predict a top of $18K.. https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2017-shannons-melbourne-summer-classic-auction-featuring-the-ian-cummins-collect/G449B8XAUA01IQ43/
Maybe.......I prefer the prewar ones like the Q Type that Moss Green had.......But I guess thats in a different league.......
Oh absolutely,but where do you find a 14000 mile,two owner anything,that hasn't been buggered around? ....and it is the much rarer 1500.
Thats True.....It will be interesting to see where it goes......The one I am watching is the Cooper S.....Its a much better example than the one that sold for 90K including BP..... Off to Bangkok now......Somebody in this place has to work.........
