    i've got a video about supercarss, and when Jeremy Clarkson drove this down a disused airstrip at abotu 170 mph, it sounded liek a plane, you know, the ones with propellors! it is a sweeeeeeeeeet car, but i can't help wonderin why the windscreen it arse-shaped?! (Take a close look at the pics), wouldn't that be really hard to soo out of, it'll be like a drink-driving simulator!<!-- Signature -->

    ok this is the 3rd foroum i'v seen with people talkin about the goat THE GOAT IS AN OLD PONTIAC GTO. NOT THIS PEICE OF CRAP THAT I JUST SAW. And i think that they should put in a V10 cuase i doubt a V12 would fit. if they made this and put a V12 in it would be way longer.

    GOAT=Greatest OF All Time. I'd agree with the 917/30.

    This car looks good but you gotta have smaller wheels cause it just looks hiddeus with 20" wheels, 18" or at the most 19" would be enough.
    But I agree that thay schould put a bigger engine like a V10, not as big as a V12, and loose all the luxury and just make for the track.

    And no matter what loose the 5-speed auto and put in a six geared manual.

    in the video i saw, there was a warning light on the dash...saying transmission problem...but there wasn't a problem, cos they'd fitted a 6spd Manual for the presenter to play with.

    lol

    Good point. This is basically a road going GT race car. A few lighter components and and number on the door as well as a roll cage and this could be raced in many GT series. I am quite disappointed by a five speed as this car should have a close ratio six speed or perhaps an optional paddle shift to showcase Jaguar's F-1 technology such as BMW and Ferrari. But i guess if it had to be a ture GT car then it must stay stick.
