Hope it's not a repost! Apparently it was Scoble who posted the photos of the VIN for the P1 that TEG posted.
2 Half Hour videos, so pretty long. One from the roadster's view and one from the Corvette's. Couldn't find a way to embed it with vbulletin so just click the link. Funny how Elon had to avoid the question about the torque. 211 lb-ft wouldn't have sounded very impressive so he went with the Newton-meters. He should have just say 100% @ 0 rpm and that's all that matters. Against a 400hp, 3200lb machine it fared well I would say for being locked into 2nd gear (in the video he says it was a 2 speed, but wasn't it locked into 2nd?).
Apparently Elon used to own a McLaren F1 too.
Jason Calacanis, founder/CEO of Mahalo, was in the Corvette with Rocky. Calacanis apparent already has a Roadster on order. (Direct link to video in Corvette below)
