  Wow, Formula1 cars are mental. The F1A are constantly finding ways of slowing down the cars by preventing development of new technologies and materials, by limiting the cars to a 2.4litre V8 engine (pre 04 cars ran 3.5 litre v10s), and by making them have retarding grooves cut into the tyres that slow speeds significantly.

  In spite of that, on avergae a formula 1 car will accelerate to 60 in 1.2 seconds and will be hitting 200mph in 7 seconds. Most road going cars will not hit 60mph in 8 seconds.

  I WANT ONE.
