???

What does the review say that the car only gets 4 mpg? Or are you trying to ask about the size of the video(large is 65.9mb)?

Did you see how he has to become a contortionist just to enter and exit the car whenever someone parks next to him?? It is pure lunacy!!!!
I have to admit though, the car has a certain draw to it even though it is American.

Needs to have scissors doors for parking, but bad if you flip.

I love the car. It's a pure racer.
I'll get this over 360/430.

It's the true american dream.

I'm amazed that Clarkson makes enough jack to afford to buy one of those babies (he said he's 'one of the lucky ones' and is getting one of the 28), particularly with all the cars he probably has. Does he own Top Gear?

It's such a brutal looking car, such a beast to watch hustling around that track. I love it, it's very American.

that is one hot car! i read it has something like 8 or 9x the torsional rigidity of a ferrari 360.
also, remember, those lap times are comparing the ford with street tires to the ferrari with corsas, which are a much stickier track tire. therefore, the lap times margins would increase even more if the ford had some dot race tires too.
again, great car!

Yeah, sweet car...but I wish they would have given a little more detail on the engine sound. That's an important consideration at that price range.
