Im sorry but the specs on this car seem a little too good to be true. 0-60 <4 seconds, 250 mph range, 700(!) bhp, AND... recharde in 10 minutes!? Lol, why did it always take at least 6 hours to recharge my damn remote control car when the real thing recharges in 10 f-ing mintues. Maybe if you connect it to a power line I guess. Well anyways, cool, I'll start $aving...
