And then add a sequential gearbox and big sticky tires and brakes. Ride along with a 390hp/1500 pound viewpoint level with the door handles of a Corvette, a bit in to the race a 944 leans on this guy a bit and the roof-line was all the way up to the bottom of the 944's windows it's so low. Everything looks like racing against fast SUV crossovers.

(The audio isn's so good and is a bit screechy....watch the volume.)

As the race progresses we can see the dangers of driving a very short, nimble car in a race with much much more powerful cars. In fact, it's interesting to see the supremacy of such a great handling car and how much danger the driver can get himself in if he were to try muscling himself around like some of the other cars. (ie: The green car) Just in case you wanted to know what it sounds like without the interesting audio from inside, here is a tuning pull of the VQ35 in the back.

Now I really wish the audio was good from inside....

That is one stupid-fast Europa !!! I hadn't seen one for years until I went to Road America for this years NASCAR Nationwide and saw one parked on the grass across the street from one of the concession stands. I walked over and was amazed just how freakin' low it sat - and it was a road car, not a racer. Talked to the owner and he said it was pretty much his daily driver!

Kodos to those who are racin g this car, it's beautiful —- AND BAAAAD !!!
