Pretty overpriced.

$500,000 for basically a better Dodge Viper.

Why not just get Viper ACR, I'm pretty sure it's a better car.

For some reason, I thought it was a tarted-up Solstice.

I see a good bit of older vette...especially in the rear fenders

I'm going out on the limb to say I dont like it. It's not really ugly, just not my style

Hey bud, go onto Autoblog and read the story about this car. The Devon is WAY OVER an ACR Viper. While it may be the motor and chassis, everything else is redone, including the chassis is reworked! The car set a lap record at Laguna Seca, for production based cars. The ACR could never do that. They lightened the car ALOT. Its gonna have the same power to weight ratio as the Enzo (650 hp to 3,000 lbs). Their benchmark to shoot for is the 599 GTB Fiorano. I too thought this about the car, but once I did some learning, this car is AMAZING for what you get. There isn't too many cars that are faster and also in the same ballpark in regards to power-to-weight. I can't wait to see what this will do at the Nurburgring, once its all sorted out.

Oh, and the sound of the exhaust is DROP DEAD AMAZING!!! If you ever heard a V10 Viper, they sound, well like crap. Even owners say, their cars DO NOT sound good. Its the motor and there isn't much that can be done. Autoblog compared the stock Viper to the sound of a UPS truck!! Devon was able to make it sound like a Musclecar V8 which happens to have 2 extra cylinders, and its SICK GOOD!!! Go on Jay Leno's Garage, as there is a video where Jay starts the car up. The sound is intoxicating!!!

I like it . . . while having some styling cues from some other cars it has its own identity as well.
