I don't think it's too much of a surprise that the TR250K is fast.  
First, the driver is fast--Tony is an excellent racer. Second, it's a  
2.5 liter six that's been well massaged. What should that be? 250 HP?  
Then it's frontal area has to be zip, it's a slick car from an aero  
standpoint. Might not optimize downforce, but it ought to have a fine  
top end.
