Batmobile in Batman Begins

the Batmobile that you see racing through the streets of Gotham City is a real car. To play its role in the film, this car had some amazing requirements:

The car had to be able to go 100+ mph despite its size and heft.
The car had to be able to accelerate from zero to 60 in 5 seconds.
The car had to be able to turn corners at speed. Lots of Hollywood cars can't turn or can't turn very well. To navigate the streets of Chicago (where the car scenes were filmed) at speed, this car needed to be agile. So it has a complete, real-world steering system.
The car had to be able to jump up to 30 feet and then land completely unscathed. :Q

The car uses a 5.7-liter Chevy V-8 engine.

Small Block Chevy FTW!!!!!

 
I told my wife I wanted that car for my birthday. I'd even give up Christmas presents for it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed ...

since the vehicle seemed like it met all those requirements posted above, dont you think you'll have to open a second mortgage, sell house+leg+kidney+kids, including that xmas of yours just to get it? :Q
