GIT is the utility (for lack of a better term) Google opted to use to track changes to the Android source code. One checks out the source code from a GIT repository and builds it locally, deploying on their own phone. It takes about an hour and a half to build Android from the source and is automated; you could start a build at night and it'd be done before you woke up in the morning.

I'm curious as to why people don't build Android from the source code, especially when these same people have no apparent issue with flashing multiple builds that other people have done.

The Keoniggggsseeeesssggeeseeeggg may be a faster car (in a straight line), but I think the Zonda's overall package is better. Its more balanced and does not require you to be Lewis Hamilton in order for you to drive it and not die.
Surely you mean Jenson Button, as Lewis Hamilton is old and busted with a mere 9 points in this season's championship.

I love em both...
The CCXR also runs off of biofuel, making it significantly more impressive than the petrol-guzzling Zonda.

If Nurburgring times matter that much, shouldn't you be lusting over the Radical SR8 instead of the Zonda? :P

Also 7:27.82 -vs- 7:33.6 != ~10 seconds.
