Formula One
 
Just got back from Montreal where I watched the Canadian Grand Prix race. I've seen a lot of different kinds of cars race, but this just blew my mind! Those suckers have 850hp N/A 3.0L V-10s and weigh only 1300 lbs with the driver! One car I was looking at had some stats posted on it: 0-60 in 1.8s, 230mph top speed. The sound was incredible - TV just doesn't do those cars justice. Downtown Montreal goes off during the race weekend, too. I would highly recommend it. Beautiful women everywhere with French accents doesn't hurt either...
I just kept wishing I had my Stang out there when I was walking around downtown. Rice everywhere. I saw so many Hondas and not one had a front mount intercooler or blow-off valve. Too bad I didn't get a chance to strike down the unroadworthy bastards...

those formula one cars can haul. we just get the indy here in vancouver, last year i was equipment operator of a construction company and we had the building we built up high enough that we could see parts of the course, after work we were sitting on top of the building watching the practice they were taking the hairpin turns at a stupid speed, it was damn impressive. i only wish my mustang could corner so well.:D i went the next day i got to go to race with as pit pass those cars are beautiful machines.

yah they certainly are awesome pieces of machinery

I read a motor trend writeup on one a year or so ago, and the only spec that I can remember from the top of my head is the fact that it can handle almost 3 times more G's as a Cobra R ( 2.75 to be more specific). I can't even begin to fathom how that feels
