a lot of money for a car with nary an original line in it's body design...

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler just took delivery of the world's fastest convertible. The Hennessey Venom GT Spyder will accelerate to 200mph in 15.9 seconds, eight seconds faster than a Bugatti Veyron. Tyler was the first person to ask if he could have his without a top.
"Steven came to us last year and asked if we could build his Venom GT as a roadster," says John Hennessey. "We had to make a few structural changes to our integrated rollcage in order to be able to fit the removable top. This increased the weight of our vehicle by about 30 lbs to a curb weight of 2743 lbs (1244 kilograms). We decided to increase the Venom GTs power to 1244 bhp to maintain our 1 horsepower per 1 kilogram power to weight ratio."
Only five Venom GTs will be built this year and Tyler's remains the only convertible. At a price of $1.1 million for the Lotus Exige chassis lengthened and braced to make room for a 7.0-liter, twin-turbo V8, it's easy to understand why interested customers are few and far between.
When Matt rode in a prototype a year ago, he described the hand-built supercar as, "the best way to die."

If he puts his foot in it and turns himself into a grease spot on the side of a mountain they will demand a replacement on American Idol immediately.

i wanna be a rockroll star.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t begrudge Tyler for buying the car. I just think this flaming liberal should catch plenty of grief from the left....but he won’t because their rules don’t apply to them. They only apply to everyone else.
If he puts his foot into it his lips will beat him into unconsciousness.
Yep... Looks like someone forgot to put up their 911 when it came into season, and every Ferrari, Lambo, and 'Vette in the neighborhood got some of it. If we were talking dogs, that body design would be a Heinz 57.
Spend your money Steve!

“Where is the outrage from the left......Does he really need a $1.1 million car? Why, this money could have been spent on the 99%’ers”

Bull, if I ain’t going to send it to the bank, why would I give it to that POS?
I am not in debt, but i do like to vent.

Funny the comments about who is ‘Matt’. Guess he’s the valet.
Steven Tyler looks like Martha Raye did before she died. Or maybe after.
Sammy Hagar just shrugged.
7 Liters? damn.
