Re: ........Project 395.................

Not a big fan of the grill - outside of that i think that is a nice looking vehicle (i wonder what the back looks like). Wonder how much it'll weigh.

EDIT: GM is doomed. I can see this thing potentially stealing some major mustang sales too on the low end (a $30k 300-hp 2-seater is a pretty good deal IMO). The article mentions the 350Z specifically but i wonder how this will affect corvette sales as well. I think it's well out of the Sky/Solstice pricing so i doubt they will be affected much.

No forced induction option = milktoast Supra. I'm sure it will still be fast, but it won't be the car the import kids slober over.

That's a good point. Seems like all the import guys i talk to basically formt heir initial opinion of a car based on whether or not it's turbo'd.

Nice looking car, the more sports cars the merrier I say.

I wish they said what the torque numbers were.
I'm just gonna assume they're pretty low.

If they build the engine as strong as the old Supra engine, I'm sure it won't matter.
