There was also a six wheel sports car in 1977 called the Panther 6 which did 200mph.

I don't see it going anywhere... Sure you can put more rubber to the road, but then you also have so much more unprung weight to deal with... People who buy cars like that, don't much care about the cost of tires, like they don't care what gas or insurance costs.. if you have to ask these prices, you obviously aren't rich enough for ownership..l o l... I wouldn't rock it..
