Default The fastest car I ever drove (800 HP)

Last December I had a chance to drive a 2003 Lola Champ Car.
The car (with me in it) weighed in at about 1700 lbs. The Cosworth engine was set (boost wise) to 800 HP. Brakes were better than you could ever imagine or ask for.
Had to get on the throttle smooth and careful!
This thing pulled like it was going into light speed!
50 mph to 150 mph took just over 2.3 seconds!
Stopped even better.
Way cool.
My Cobra felt like a dog after that.....
