Ariel Atom. Nothing is going to outhandle it on the road. I know, it IS powered by a civic motor, but at least its superchaged, and the thing doesn't weigh ANYTHING.
Best of all, its cheap. I think its like 30K US, and it would run rings around any Z06 or evo on the circuit course. Plus, nothing is cooler than an open cockpit car you can acutally watch the suspension move on!
edit; Forget the circle track, I just watched the vid again. Its got superiour power/weight ratio to a freaking enzo. buy bye 70K Zo6!
500 KG btw... holy cow.

Thats 3.6 pounds per horsepower. Figure that a new edge GT wieghs say 3300 pounds... that means a new edge needs NINE HUNDRED horsepower to just match the power/weight ratio.
This top gear guy isn't kidding... it pulls like "nothing else on 4 wheels". Since my car is a nice day only ride anyway, i have seriously considerd selling the GT and buying one of these.
Plus it is a civic motor, and we all know there is an aftermarket out there for honda stuff. It comes stock with an eaton blower, imagine what another 50 ish WHP would do for the car... yikes!!!
Enzo, Z06, viper, GT500, Ford GT, forget it, its all going buh bye. Hell, I bet it could even pull some mean 60' times being that the engine is right over the rear wheels....
