so if you removed your a/c, sound system, and soft top... you, too, could be lighter and faster
Disappointing

With the higher price and dealer markups this thing will be too close in price to an elise and not close enough in performance.

Ummmmm....no thanks. I'll pass. For $35-40K, I'll get a new '07/'08 for $30K and put on my own suspension for much less and skip the over the top rear wing. Weight savings are cool too though I could probably pull out my own AC and stereo and get a lot of those savings.

wheels and rear cowl fairings are nice, but the lip wing and color are all bad. no hp bump and only 90 pounds off???! not impressed.

It's hard to imagine this thing becoming a collectors' item but who knows?
