at first glance every time I open this thread, it reminds me of a Corvette with it's stance.

and to everyone saying something about the price.

given the specs and what you can see that it has (carbon brakes, v10, etc)... what SHOULD it be worth?

You guys are quick to speak of the price, but from what I have seen so far this car has been compared to the McLaren F1 and Pagani Zonda when it comes to performance. To me, even a $400k price tag is a steal compared to the $1M+ that you would have to shell out to own one of those other two.

I won't make a final judgment on the price until there is more information out about this car and what it can do.

Consider the field of critics you are dealing with....We aren't so quick to sign a check to produce the stats that these cars produce. We rather start with a viable platform and build on to it. (from an engineering vs. cost standpoint it makes sense). All these are a stupid proof "supercars", that any wanker off the street with a good enough credit score or bank roll can buy. Plus I could NEVER justify blowing that much cash on a car even if I HAD the money. $100K can build you a NASTY ass car period. One off parts and etc. And also the reason you pay so much is exclusivity and the R&D.

So WHY spend 100K plus on a chromed up toyota? or steroided out 350Z....(sorry GTR lovers)

I don't care what anyone says. That car is ****ing sick. And im sure 99.99998&% of us couldn't afford that, let alone a 100k car. So, who gives a **** if its 100k, 400k or 8 trillion. Either way we can't afford it. . .well, I could in Forza :D

In that range you are looking at what. . Ferrari's, Lambo's, Bentley's, Porsche Carrera GT's, SLR, etc. All over priced "super cars" that are ****ing bad ass. Again. All cars that just about none of us could afford. I like it, if I had the bank to even consider buying it. I would. Along with many other cars. But. . that's not going to be happening anytime soon.

I should've added PSEUDO in front of exclusivity. It's not exclusive if anyone with a bank roll can have it.

Plus, it's more exclusive to have a ONE off to YOUR specs then just buying a supercar.

So, basically what your saying is that a Honda Civic with 40k put into it is as cool as a newer m3?

So you're telling me that a ZR1 is as cool as a Koenigsegg CCGT?

Same logic. I'm not defending the honda. Just the logic.

car is sexy ill give it that BUT if i had the cash it would be a zr1 for more then one reason, theres PLENTY of room for power improvements on the ls9 without spending a million bucks,i am all for american cars,and its just downright nasty out of the box it beats cars 2-3x its price. hell forget anything new id build a prostreet 55-56 buick with tt 455 with fuel injection for a daily. full backhalf car with modern suspension and interior which to me would be a badass daily. i dont see the point in building a car and looking at it i dont car what year it is or how rare id drive most things daily others wouldnt!

i think almost everyone on TST would be more than happy with a car that weights 3200lbs and has a 450hp v10.


and on modding the crap out of a cheaper car you have to remember;

a civic that can beat a ferrari is still just a civic thats faster than a ferrari. there's no prestige.

so porsche can charge $125k+ for a V8 SUV, but Lexus can't charge triple digits, for a V10?

I see what you guys are saying about "building a nasty ass car for $100k".... but who knows.

My 1991 MR2 with a tiny 4 cylinder < 275whp car weights 3020.... this car with TWICE the power FROM THE FACTORY, weighs only 200lbs more... think about it.

Again, not saying this car is god, or trying to be a fan boy... I'm ready to see what this thing can do on the track.

ah nevermind lol... who am I kidding, no matter what the public will have something to say. I'm just a broken record at this point.

I'm not in love. If I had 400K, which I don't, there are other cars I'd spend my money on.

i'd happily drive one, and probably cum in my pants doing so... i wouldn't buy one if i had the money though.

i'm not sold on the design of the vehicle... but i love the massive brakes!

Because for 100K, you can make a honda civic faster and better in anyway, and be completely unique/more exclusive!

/sarcasm

I'm split with the car. I guess I expected too much from it.
