    It's not official. Why weren't they allowed to do the run in the opposite direction ?

    I think they use a modified Lotus chassis and frame.  I bet it costs much less than the Veyron.

    If anyone was browsing car forums back in 1999/2000, Viper owners would tell you a different story

    Asking price for the kit car is $1M
