By heart the Xbow R does it in 12 seconds less... (will find the source...)
A good Caterham on normal tyres (not semis as the Xbow) does it in 7:52...

So pretty close call ;)
Except that the Xbow will try and kill you more often...  ;)
Edit: Does not keep me from wanting one!!

BTT:
It's called clockwork orange!

Actually, the R is less keen to kill than its older siblings.....

The caterham needs to compete on 888's surely??

I assume the track one chooses for the contest influences the outcome anyway.... ;)

Loving the wheels...for me you have got to do the grille as well...more important than the mirrors IMHO

Looks good with the orange wheels and mirror caps, orange stripes would be over doing it.

How about Abarth lettering along the sides?

What about a really subtle dark grey stripe? There but not enough to detract from the wheels?
