Cool

Fairly close to the one seen @ the Formula One races in Indy three years ago: http://1texfinn.cz28.com/photo4.html

I think the side profile looked better before, though. Other than that...

I think it was something like ~550hp and proably as much of torque as two stock LS1's have. Well... Not quite, but close anyway.

0-60 in low 4 seconds and top speed 200mph+

Thumbs up

The design on that car is PERFECT!! I like all of the lines, the small details, the tail lights, the interior, everything!!

Well, everything but the price.

"Odd and Overdone" is what popped into my head... :blah:

The back end is not bad... other than that... I think it's kind of tacky, to be honest...

I was going to say that it is overdone too. There is just too much going on. Also, I am not a fan of the bird-beak nose on the front.
I'd take the Lambo over this car anyday.

Can we work out a time-share?

I liked the concept car SLR better than this production model. The cabin is too far aft and the trunk lid looks a bit squashed. I know the car is very capable and sure to be the new flagship for the 3-pointed star but I'd go for a 575M if I had the cash to get one or the other.

In contrast to what everyone else is saying. I don't like it that much. Overstyled and the car looks too 'back' heavy - like the cabin is pushed too far back. Hideous wheels too. For a quarter of a million I'd rather take a Porsche 911 GT2 (i.e. the RWD Twin-turbo) and pay a visit to Mr Ruf with the change.

I hate to say it, but I think the Crossfire is executed better.

There's a company that does timeshares on exotic cars. Basically they have every car known to man almost and depending on how much you pay per month (I think it ranges from 1000 to 5000 a month) you can drive any array of exotic cars for any amount of time you want. When you get tired of it, pay a 500 dollar delivery fee for them to pick the car up (it's a nation-wide service) and drop your next car off and you're good to go!

Now THAT is a pretty cool idea... if you have the $$ moola $$ , anyway.

Exterior seems way too busy and overdone to me...Compare with the clean, uncluttered lines of a Ferrari 360...Seems like overkill, and the exterior screams "TAKE A GOOD LOOK BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER AFFORD ME!" At least for the buyer, the car looks like it's price tag, so there'll never be any confusion about the cost...personally, if I'm just going to burn 1/4 million, I'll take two GT-40s, one white with blue stripes, the other yellow with black stripes...mod the first, leave the other one stock.
