Nope...

Unless you can get it up to 176 mph
But only if you care about being caught on a speed camera.

Otherwise my MINI can go "fast enough" ... for me.

Except that TVR is owned by a Russian dude now .


Though the new Sagaris is hot and TVR is rumored to be coming to the states . Ever see the episode of Top Gear where they put people in the Tuscan and asked them to figure out how to start it in under 5 minutes or something? That one is hilarious, I don't think anyone figured it out in time.

Thats pretty funny... One of those damned cameras got me on 11th near the Lincoln Tunnel a few years ago. It was like a 50 dollar ticket. The light was SO yellow when i entered the intersection! what a ripoff

I love how they say you'll need "a REALLY fast car" and then show a civic. They even admit to a 7.2 second 0-60.

I mean, can that thing even pull a quarter in the 14's?

anyway... I laughed.

I loved the Bacharach clips playing in the cars.
