I thought he'd be too drugged out (now, from past drug use) to know what he was driving.

Could it be driven practically on the road!
I just cant help but wonder what that would be like to drive.
wouldnt that thing be like driving an mr2 only a million more times likely to swap ends.
One tap on the gas pedal would be like your skating on ice with that sort of power to weight ratio and weight distribution surely.
Dont get me wrong guys, its got me drooling but as a daily driver surely its just an accident waiting to happen.

"Interestingly, the car's balance is not at its optimum until it has a passenger and driver inside. When all fluids and a passenger are loaded, the car's 37-63 empty weight distribution becomes an ideal 44-56"

Any reason when I clicked on the video a Hyundai SantaFe ad popped up !"Hang on , lets pause the Dyno video guys , and check out Hyundai's deal" !

According to most people, since it has "dinosaur pushrods lol" it can't possibly be that fast.
Right!

Would say he will be "Livin' on the edge" if he's a bit heavy on the right pedal . He will be thinking "I don't want to miss a thing" looking down the road. (that's enough , someone else's turn with the song title or lyrics now)

He could, but I hope he wont! why do you call him a dork, really, can you surpass his talents, or what are you famous for !
"Steven Tyler (born Steven Victor Tallaricco; March 26, 1948) is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, best known as the frontman and lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, in which he also plays the harmonica, and occasional piano and percussion. He is known as the "Demon of Screamin'"[1] due to his high screams and his wide vocal range. He is also known for his on-stage acrobatics."
see I told you they should have put a rotary in it to get some real decent hp.

ZR6 engine minus super charger + two truck turbos.
For those questioning the drivability of the car it can be dialed down in cockpit to a more manageable 800 horse and has 10 thousand dollar + per corner rubber on it so its probably not going to be as bad as its made out to be. Driving it off boost would probably be made easier because unlike some hand grenade 3 litre turbo strung out to a thousand horsepower it doesn't need to rev to a million to make any power - 'cause its a "dinosaur pushrod lol" and has torque at idle.

If anyone is interested, lotus already built this same car for Group C racing ages ago and called it the Lotus GT1.

Not for Group C racing, but for the BPR Global GT series. Rule-changes during the car's development rendered it a failure on the track, but in the nostalgic '90s GT series, the things clean up! :)

By "clean up" I assume you mean over heat and DNF just about every race right ;P
