That's nuts! It should come with coffin rails pre-installed because there ain't no way you're coming out of that thing if you pile it up!

Why would anyone build a car to where you could not see in order to drive? It would be like a new space shuttle that was no able actually leave the atmosphere.

I asked my mechanic about the same thing.He is building a old front engine dragster and when I sat in it when it was mocked up all I could see was motor and blower,he said look down the side at the wheels and then said you don't need to see your just going a 1/4 mile anyway

Pricey indeed. But very cool...test drive would be a LOT of fun indeed.

Doesn't look too bad to work on, either.
