    I posted in another thread with this car, but I'll share here also.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all about performance and can appreciate one fast car whether it's pushing 1cyl or 10, FWD, AWD, or RWD. These are just my observations.

    The car doesn't seem very practical. No true race-bred car really is, but this is a little excessive.

    The soot/build up from the exhaust will cover the rear windshield, and tarnish the paint over time. Not to mention you have to have the car off when getting in/out of the trunk. I'd rather not have hot exhaust gases in my face when accessing my trunk.

    Aside from the gaudy front bumper and the overall aesthetics of the car, with brakes that massive on a seemingly compact car, it's a tad bit overkill. I hope this car has about 550HP and/or weighs 4,000lbs or so otherwise it's just there for the cool factor as opposed to being functional. Brembo calipers would've sufficed and probably costs hundreds less. Not to mention having to drop a few hundred bucks everytime you replace the brake pads.

    Cool looking car with promise of it being sporty, but just a little too "out there" for my tastes.

    Not trying to bash, just an observation and some constructive criticism from one car enthusiast to another.
