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?

SgtGoldy · 10-21-2009, 06:22 PM

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

phelan · 10-21-2009, 06:27 PM

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

shabarivas · 10-21-2009, 07:12 PM

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.
