But then, I like bitching about little flaws in things that I will never be able to afford. It makes me feel better about it somehow.
i agree with your first point, except for the F1 suspension layout of the car which probably lends itself to a normally stiff ride. i doubt the delphi system that is on the ZR1 and ferrari's could be used here without re-engineering the whole system (definitely not cheap). also, in one article i read about the car, the engineers said they considered a dual clutch setup (like the GTR, 458, porsche PDK, etc) but it was too heavy when they were focused on loosing weight. that's why they went with a more refined version of the single clutch setup
