Looks great.. but in person that car is HUGE..

I wish it wasn't 4,000 lbs and I wish it didn't only have an automatic. :yes:

The horse power to weight is bad on these cars. Sure 425 hp sounds great but only if the car weighed in at 3500 lbs not 4000. These cars are good for low 13s but lose about 500lbs and thats mid 12s atleast

I thought it was lighter than that?


Anyways, I asked a GM engineer about this and he said to blame it on the Govt crash standards and cost. The cheapest and easiest way to make a car safer is to throw mass at it. That's one of the main reason these cars are so heavy.

Not the direction you want to go if you are trying to gain mpg to keep up with CAFE requirements.

BTW, that thing is SICK!!!!
