General Motors’ design center in Seoul, South Korea, has unveiled its first concept car, and it is a “future” we definitely can embrace. This carbon-bodied, aluminum-framed plug-in hybrid is one slick ride we’d like to see the General build.

That would be the one below. The steering rack was torn off of the car on a hard landing, ending his race.
I got to ride in one of these today with Chuck. The scenery was rushing by quite quickly, and I am pretty sure the speedometer read north of 150...

Actually Kyle's Mom is the former HR, now night manager where I work. Me and my coworkers sing it when she is on.

Totally jealous. A Beck 904 is my current when I have some real money car.

It is an astonishing vehicle. It's crazy fast when you want it to be, but it is also surprisingly well mannered when you calm it down. The one I rode in was 100% bone stock. it had maybe 7000 miles on a 993 3.6 liter. According to Chuck, he has another with a built 3.8 that had another 100 horsepower. The stock 3.6 will move the 1700 pound car to 60 in about 3.5 seconds.
It simply boggles my mind that people buy Boxsters when you could get a Beck 904 for the same money!
