I found this in reference to the US.

"In an online poll over what cars currently for sale in Europe, but not available in the US, Koenigsegg is the most wanted sports car"

i think that 400k swedish car's engine/tranny/chassis is probably based on some production car. just like how the mosler or whatever is almost completely based on the c5 corvette. but i dunno. just my stupid theories. can somebody verify?

and that yoo-hoo eurovan rocked. they were passing out fee yoo-hoo to everyone at the fairmont in SF. i saw one foo took a whole case

Yep I believe that is the case.

there's no "winner." the misinformed public thinks that it is some sort of dangerous cross-country race like the cannonball runs of the '70s. however, it's just a bunch of rich folks driving really fast and partying all night at 4-star hotels. they do it for the experience, thrill, comradery, etc.
