I've got silicone and braided connectors all over in my car (rubber lines only for vacuum signals and crank case ventilation), that's hardly what makes the Silver Bullet car worth its $100k+ development cost.  This is pretty standard fare these days, and it takes more than silicone and braided hose to make a fast car.  The silver bullet has big turbos, good intake and exhaust flow, and good chip tuning, by Garret Limm himself, that's what makes it a fast car.
