Gotta admit...it's different!

Clever idea...would be a hoot to actually see this on the track

I wish they did not use sped up footage on the track.

How much money do you have to have to be able to waste it on that?

Don't get me wrong, it's neat and I appreciate the spirit. But the amount of time and money that went into it, for what? Just because?

Charter member of the 'More-Money-Than-Brains-Club' no doubt. I think this guy specializes in outrageous one-offs like this. Either he's sponsored, or has very deep pockets.

More like "more-money-than-sense".

I like it, but I think it'd be cooler if I hadn't seen a tour of how they built it.

I also wish people editing video of racing at 20MPH-60MPH would resist the need to "make it look faster by speeding it up".

20MPH, 200MPH, both are still driving, let it show as it is.

The point of it is to be serious about not taking it too serious.
