    Those links you found are from the "normal" RST V8. Not the supercharged 500 hp version, it's only got around 300 or so.

    Wow, if that was only 300 horsepower...

    I hate to be the weenie here, but why is it that they put that absurdly inadquate rollbar on a car that's going to be one of the fastest in the word? Crikey, those sort of capabilites practically warrant a full NASCAR cage!

    Wouldn't want the throttle to stick on that one!

    The Brits have very different ideas about roll over protection, especially on street cars. The standard "bar" on a Westfield is strong enough that you can push the car around with it. Maybe.

    Holy crap, It's got an ugly nose, but otherwise cool, and definitely a rocket sled!

    The irony is that most of the people who can afford these toys are scared to drive them at the limit. Those with the skills and cojones though.......

    Honda Civic w/turbo 4 cylinder versus Ford GT. Great driver in cheap car, crappy driver in expensive car.
