My Uncle called me to tell me he rode in one last night. Blowed his socks off.

It has a Honda engine.

Looks like fun.

Those cars are sweet as hell..I saw it on Top Gear one episode..it made the old guy's face shape shift  :o

From what I know it has a supercharged honda engine (don't know which one) with 300 hp.. 2.3 0-60? correct me if I'm mistaken

300 hp Supercharged.

Same engine that's in the Chevy Cobalt and Saturn Ion Redline.

Carbon Fiber tub on tubular steel, Konig two-way adjustable dampeners, with after-market H&R springs.

Recommended to start in second gear when at the track because first wont grip.

$65,000 base price, and every one is made specific to the driver.
