Tags: , ,

The same guy who’s featured in another video hot-rodding around the Los Angeles area is shown here in an interview where he talks about what it’s like to own this $500,000 beast. He races against one of the Supercar.net guys’ AC Cobra with 400+ RWHP and points out some of the flaws of owning a supercar.
