not a bad looking car :)

...they forgot the most important parts though, having the right brains all together in one place, long enough, co-operating enough to create the idea of that car in the first place ;) heh heh heh...

neato, thanks Super.

Falcon cars has not one single customer and will likely fold up by the end of the year. This is quite a shame for the people that have invested their money and effort. They were awarded the "right" to build chassis for the IRL (I Run Last) series by Tony George over Penske. Since I hate Tony George I am not too sad to see anyone fail, in any way, that is connected with the IRL.

I am not a fan of Tony George. Nevertheless, IndyCar is technically interesting - just like F1, CART, ALMS...

The fastest ever non-turbo lap of Indy:

38.5876 sec___233.236 mph___2003 Panoz G Force - Toyota

The Panoz chassis and Toyota engine are made in USA.
