How About a Spin in the World's Quickest Street-Legal Automobile?

Horsepower is highly addictive. As automotive enthusiasts, we crave it insatiably.
Each time we place ourselves behind the wheel of a vehicle, a brief moment arrives when we wish for just a little more potency. Whether driving a 138-horsepower Kia Rio (http://www.autoblog.com/kia/rio/) or a 638-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/corvette/), there is always an instant when the initial rush begins to slow and we ache for just a little bit more.
But what if it were possible to have too much power? What if there were a vehicle that satisfied our desire so completely, to the point where we were overwhelmed (think along the lines of sweet-tooth Augustus Gloop swimming in Willy Wonka's river of chocolate)? Would we finally stop thirsting for more?
To solve the riddle, we tracked down the fiendish Alpha 12 GT-R by AMS Performance. It is not just the quickest accelerating street-legal car that Autoblog has ever driven. With a quarter-mile time of 8.975 seconds at 169.49 miles per hour, it is likely the quickest street-legal production vehicle on the planet.Continue reading AMS Alpha 12 GT-R [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/20/ams-alpha-12-gt-r-first-drive-review-video/)
