That's a story of taking lemons and making lemonade.

The car is made of un-obtainium, and also un-believably cool.

If I could climb into it I'd LOVE to take it for a spin, although I'd guess that a T-rex is
a much more realistic car/motorcycle type machine, and the Ariel Atom is a more attainable
small sports coupe with a similar design intent.

Then again since when were these kind of dream machines about what is or is not "Attainable"?

The Sportstar just redefined the entire concept of motorcycle powered cars. Look at this! Originally designed as a production racer to compete against Corvettes and Vipers with power from a twin turbo 10,000rpm 960hp V8, the project was put on hold when Grand-Am rules changed and moved toward an emphasis on Daytona prototypes. The car became obsolete as a racer.

Has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it? Who are these clowns that feel the need to continually change the rules?
