The engine is killer! Yet they didn't upgrade the transmission behind it to allow drivers to shift it fast.

The wheel-base is long. Yet they didn't put the wheels out back to take advantage.

They dumped a lot of money into track-tuning the suspension around VIR but they put 2-piston brakes out back.

They spent time/money with coating cylinder bores and they answer to driveline vibration is a 2-piece driveshaft that weighs over 20 pounds MORE than a 1-piece aluminum one.

They just did so much of the car SO RIGHT! and then totally screwed up the package on nickel/dime stuff.

I'm sure the SVT engineers are frustrated about some of these things as well, but there is only so much they can do when ultimately the bean-counters are in charge.

Still, for what it is, it's amazing.

Here is a better show illustrating the new brakes:

And some neat little canards on the red one:
