it would handle like shit. There's no way the ratio of weight distribution could be right on with ANY vehical of that size without years of working on just the suspension alone. It would probly handle just like any old RC car does. Accel should be alot better then the real thing though.

I dunno DTN, I'll bet that it's pretty damn close. The dude spent 15 years on this thing. I'll bet the ratio is pretty close to the real thing. It is a scale model.

No doubt in my mind though that that dude is nuts. It's a running 12 cyl engine that you can hold in one hand!!!! Wrap your friggin' head around that!
