OK,
so it is a "street legal" Indy car with a smaller engine but WOW!

I was sitting at Sonic having a root beer and suddenly this two place Indy car pulls in. Ok, sumthin' ya don't see every day. The driver spotted my NSX and offered to give each other a ride in our cars. It took me all of 1/15000 nanoseconds to agree.

Bottom line is it was an actual Indy car ran in some past Indy races and then was shipped to <st1>Europe</st1> to make it into a two place car. They exchanged motors for a 1500cc Honda Gold wing with straight pipes and some performance upgrades and presto-chango! Street legal.

The puny motor was surprisingly quick. No top end but real quick. I gave the driver a ride in my NSX as promised and he was astounded.

All in all a great surprise to my slow afternoon.

That is absolutely sick. I've dreamed of doing that with an F1 car. Only in my dreams though. Thats gotta attract more attention on the road than any Enzo.
