Interesting claims, pretty high aspirations that couldn't possibly be met given the design.

For instance, a calculated 1/4 mile estimation of 6.6 sec @ 204 mph. Probably a number derived only from weight to hp calculations not taking into consideration weight transfer and traction requirements. If you've ever spent much time at the dragstrip and seen what it takes to run a sub 7 sec pass; pigs will fly before a car of this type will run that.

Probably just a design students wet dream.

To me, it's a cool looking car. I like it, but it appears to be able to go faster than my angel can fly. I guess I'll just be happy with the C5.

I agree, its absolutely beautiful. The performance claims are so far fetched its just not believable.
