Curious what the cost of that bad boy is?
Bet you it's double what the "track" GT86 costs. Not bad in my book.

Those seem like very "neat" HP/torque figures. Exactly 250/250? I can't help but wonder about that.

Considering the street MP4 is $200k+, i'm guessing a factory built racer would be atleast $300k

Makes you wonder what some of those 400-600whp tubo kits that Full Blown has released would put down...

Me wants the 250hp 250tq model for a daily driver.....
