Was reading about it today, no engine, all of the work is to lighten the car and further tuning of the suspension .

Why the heck did they use those generic looking wheels? Blah.

And that exhaust tip change is just as ugly.

I need to see price and specs to be able to justify that ugliness.

Hah! theres all that lightweight stuff people people insist will not significantly increase the price of a car if they use it.

LMAO, just imagine a Mustang GT with the same stuff - "Cool a 3000 pound Mustang GT! Tell me again why it costs 80,000 with a 300hp V8?"
