That popped up on my newsfeed too yesterday. I love seeing those engineering test sleds. I remember when Ferrari was testing the Enzo, the were using modified 348 body panels (that car was 15 years old at the time). It looked completely ridiculous ... I LOVED IT.

Other odd info..... 'Blackjack' had so much front lift they flipped the rear wing over to balance it out. 'Blackjack' also has a Porsche PDK transmission.

I remember reading about a guy in Germany who had a Porsche 928. He took the body off and had a VW Golf body built over it, scaled up so everything fit. I can only imagine the consternation of Mercedes and Porsche owners being blown off by a VW.
