Ya, I have a link to the article in the OP. Damn thing is gonna be priced up in Ferrari territory, I reckon.

I'm gonna buy it... when I sale my house... and my soul... lol

370zsteve here is gonna buy like 40 of them after he redeems his shares in Elly Lilly. This guy puts Warren Buffet to shame.

You're the next Peter Lynch buddy ;)

Wow... That thing is a beast. Definately Ferrari price range...

Looks like the 03 Celica front end, Ferrari style sides, with an Audi R-8 rear end... Surprised they didn't put the engine in the back...

The Track pics look awesome, anyone know where they have any Z pics of a similar nature? Preferably of a black Z?

God I hated the Celica... Bulky, slow, and all the ricers thought they were the **** driving one

I think I'm the only one that doesn't like it...

Have you heard that thing? its music to my ears man... and that thing looks like it will eat and digest a GTR

I concur, but you'll be surprised that some people who got nothing better to do with their money will drop $400K for this thing.

It's not exotic enough in looks IMO. It looks like a "Japanese Aston Martin" to me.

That's the Japanese. Never big on Innovation but adept at improving on the Status Quo.
