What the hell you going to do with this car?!
Ah.. thats a good one... This car should be incredibly streetable (yes, even at 1000HP), cruise from coast to coast (the gas stations will love me), stomp anything on the road it comes into contact with, and it should corner like a dream. BullRun would be a fun test for this car....
