Ron,
They did a test of it in either MT or C&D. They got perf. numbers. The price
liste dthere was now raised to $395,000. The specs are in NO way impressive
for a $400,000 car.... It barely beats a stock GTS/ACR..... And has no
chance against a 650R in handling or power.......And you could buy 2 650Rs
and still have 100k to buy a bone stock RT/10 and Dak R/T.....
Ridiculous..........
