Dang, if I were your friend, I would NOT park my car next to the MT900. It kinda makes the ACR look sedate in comparison. Of course, 99.9% of all cars look subdued compared to the MT!

You arent his friend, and he wouldnt let you park your base C5 next to it.
Yep. Anyone who doesn't think the MT900 is in the same league or greater than the ACR, simply check out the new Car and Driver where it devastated the entire field, and the ACR, by SECONDS at VIR on the big course. The only Ring times I have found so far for the Mosler are privateer guys just out for a lap - a far cry from a factory/pro effort.

43.5 (street ride height) vs. 47.6 for the ACR.

That mosler is truly striking. I've read this thread a few times now and really, its epic. Those pics do it more justice than the ones at the factory site.
does it have ABS?
Forget about the seconds that teh Mosler beat the ACR by at lightning lap, C&D reported this:
"And then there’s the Mosler. It was just so astoundingly fast that, frankly, our amateur skills could not fully exploit its capabilities. It handles quite well—predictable, glued down, and with outstanding brake feel. But uncorking the 550-hp LS7 V-8 propels this featherweight, 2584-pound car like a cannon shot. That tremendous speed was in itself unnerving. There are subtle bumps on the gently curved start-finish straight that sent the rear end skipping about to the point that we instinctively feathered the throttle. That surely cost us some time, so we pitted for a shock adjustment. When we went back out, a strip of wheel weights fell off, producing enough vibration that our deeply rooted instincts for self-preservation took over and we parked it. Overall, though, it’s a remarkably well-turned-out car. Warren Mosler’s years of work have paid off. It’s like a streetgoing IMSA prototype, and it’s even quicker than its chart-topping time suggests. "
Man that Mosler is nice. I like the ACR's, always though the Vipers had a nice look, but the MT900's are exotic. Thank god he finally got a real stylist to design the looks too. The Consulier GT's he had years ago where fast as hell even with the 2.2 turbo motors but they were horrible looking.
