Default The Ultimate Track Car?

Looks amazing an F1 car for the street or track!

Pulls 3g's in any direction, and can go from 0-100 mph in 5 secs!

I would expect 4-5 g of braking for it to be a great track car....

It makes me consider selling everything I own and going into debt up to my eyeballs to buy one.

F1 cars can put down 6. 4-5 g of braking is pretty normal for purpose built race cars, especially ones with a lot of aero downforce.

F1 cars put 6?! I never thought it was that high. At max 5. Regardless this thing would destroy pretty much any purpose built car.

From high speeds, yeah. The aero downforce and front grip is immense when they're going fast, as I imagine this car would be.

F1 cars actually have something like 2.5g of braking just from the aero; just by lifting they have more braking than most sports cars.
