Very cool! The video cuts off though. The bike rider looks like he didn't know what he was doing as he braked for the 1st corner. It's much more difficult to ride a bike fast than to drive a car fast.
I liked how he said the bike was 'just a bit faster'; and the video showed it to be many car lengths ahead.

Good Lord! What a driving experience that is going to be!!!
Seriously though, is anyone really going to use that thing as a "car"? I would think it would qualify more as a go-kart and that most people would probably keep their C6 for the streets. Interesting that you'd get rid of the C6 to get one of these???

I sure wouldn't get rid of my C6 for one, but as a new toy.........well hey, that's a totally different story. Pretty nice price too! Similar in concept to a Lotus Elise, but way more power and less frills.
