I have been lusting over this since I got my latest issue of Autoweek.
This amazing vehicle is supposed to slot between the Ford GT (40) and the Enzo in price. It has an amazing 3.4Lbs/Hp, the Enzo sits at 4.2! The
McLaren F1 was 3.9 and the Veyron is 4.1. So it should kick some ass! 110" wheelbase and 2,860Lbs.
Oh mama! I wwwwant one!!!! Now my wife won't notice if I put 3 mortages on the house?

Saw it last week at the press conference. Must remember it's a Chrysler so it will (A) never get built, or (B) be so screwed up in the
pre-production development process that you'd never want it anyway 
It's attractive enough in a derivative way -- but frankly I think it's just "thumb in Ford's eye". The press conference
was embarassingly nasty with the design wonk making barely veiled jabs at the GT-40 in order to get some cheap publicity.
It's all well and good to throw a show car and an eye-popping spec sheet together, remains to be seen whether they can actually make it a
reality.
Cheers, Ted

Alan,
Had a look at the pics for the 2005 Mustang. Very Retro, very Bullitt.
Means me very much like!
Of course, performance and handling are bound to be debatable.

That thing has to be designed by a European!
Americans have forgotten what a good car looks like!
Incoming!

That's essentially what I said, though Chrysler is one of the few who seem to get stuff into production.
On nit-pick about our website here regards posting. Though it's my fault for not checking, sometimes when I come here I'm not
automatically signed in, yet the site allows me to type a post. Then, AFTER I type it and try to post, THEN it says I'm not logged in, and the
post is lost for good. Grrr.
