T-Rex

Last night I was out at the street races on Woodward (Detroit, MI).. and I saw a T-rex. The thing was awesome. Its the first time I saw one in real life, and man they are quick. I didn't have my camera with me, but here's what they look like. The one I saw was metallic candy coated green-apple color.

I guess they go like 140mph, pull 1.9g on the skidpad, have over 1g of acceleration, and go 0-60mph in 4 sec. The guy that came up to the races with his had a hayabusa motor in his, and he said it had a few upgrades. The thing was tiiiiight.
MSRP: $45,000 USD

They look alot smaller than this in person.. I could seriously fit the thing in my kitchen.. haha. Its only like 9ft long and 5 feet wide.

yea, its street legal. But if you got into any sort of accident, I could guarantee instant death.. or slow/painful. When I first saw the guy pull up in it, I thought of it as the size of a go-kart.. but barely enough room for him and his wife. I'm about 5ft 7in, and it looked like it would fit me perfect.. as a solo driver. haha. I don't think I would want to take a passenger in that thing just because of how small it is in reality. It should have been a 1 seater with the driver seat in the middle.
