If you drive it like a sensible human being however, it's no harder to handle than any other car on the road. It's a fantastic machine, and will give as much as you ask, or go as slow as you require.

The nannies actually do a great job of keeping thing under control.
Bingo.

The throttle is not an off/on switch.

Well for Jay Leno - first time ever - he drove a car with "too much hp". Go to 19:00 of link below for the declaration! then at 19:25 and 19:46 he says nothing over half throttle!

Link doesn't work.

That's a sick ride. Probably a $500k build. Back in the day I had a'70 Charger 500. You need $100-$200k to make that car streetable and safe by today's standards.
