Well, because it shows how important aerodynamics are when big numbers come up, and highlights that a Corvette with the same power should accelerate even faster as it has a very good BC of .31 iirc.

I agree that the Skyline is not the prettiest car, but I feel that the F1 is stunning in the right colour.
yeah, its damn fast for sure (both); and it would obliterate 98% of street cars out there.

and i know many people go ga-ga for the McLaren F1.... personally, i prefer the looks of the XJ220 (and of course the Vector W8)
