yeah, like 2-3 secs/lap compared to last year, which is nuts.  2 secs is a
bunch.

I read an article somewhere where Ferarri is selling like 3-4 yr old F1 cars
to their customers who want to buy.  It was like $1-2 million I think?

Imagine showing up to the local time trial or auto-x with that on a flat-bed
<g>  Have to go get a bank loan for just the brakes, tires/fuel, and other
fluids just for the afternoon.
