Would you drive this?
Have a look at this website:
http://gto-racing.nexen.net/CanAm/ca...adowMk1AVS.htm its of the Shadow MK1 AVS. the idea was to reduce frontal area, its just an engine with wheels! oh and the biggest wing that youve ever seen, although i doubt it would be that effective with all the turbulence created by driver and engine, hence the size. could ypu imagine it now! |

Not very much protection, eh? I would have driven it then because none of us knew any better! We thought it was a pretty safe sport then. And we think it's safe now. In ten year we are probably going to look back on today and say "What were we thinking?"

Yes, I would give it a go.
Not so sure about racing though. I would be happy for a few laps on a circuit. I/m sure that it was a great experience. SL |

What the idea of 1100 hp scares you off ?
I would definetly drive it. It would be a thrill. What really amazes me is that the car has less side impact protection than the panozes, thought that wasn't possible. The picture of the car at the bottom distinctively looks like our reynard?? |
