This is essentially the new Suzuki Escudo...haha, yes...the fastest car you could get in Gran Turismo 2 & 3...probably 4 too...but I haven't played it.

It amazes me that Suzuki builds such nice bikes, and has this laurel to ride on...yet they continue to build such mediocre cars.

The XL7 is Suzuki's new flag ship in U.S.A. A V6 VVT(Variable Valve Timing) 3.6 liter engine has been up suited with twin turbo charger (http://www.supercars.net/cars/3861.html#), which is now producing 1007ps and 102kg-m. To get a grip on the road, aerodynamics has been refined and now it has increased the downforce of more than 35% compare to 2006 model. Falken has once again made the tyres for this machine. Everything is ready for to break the record.

Nobuhiro Tajima, the president of Susuki Sport won the 85th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in ten minutes and one seconds, breaking the record previously held by Rod Milen for thirteen years.

Nobuhiro Tajima ran the first section to Picnic Ground in the elapsed time of 1'42"197, the second section to Glen Cove in 4'29"191, the third section to 16mile point in 7'3"408, then the last section to the finish line in 10'1''408. His record will be written on the Guinness Book of Records.

Haha yea...I used a gameshark to get 50x horsepower from it.

I did a top-speed run...2500+ mph. The tires just kept burning and burning...no proper traction until the front end lifted...and that makes very little sense.

With a Game Shark though...well, see above.

Yeah I just changed the suspension lift and other things and at about 200 the car does a wheelie and the speedo jumps.

Def. I saw your car didnt know if I'd see you. Good talking to you for about 5 mins.
