you can get a fully built Factory Five GTM for $30 grand less, and the GTM will be mucho faster.

didn't the first Japanese supercar (NSX) come out 20 years ago? time line sounds about right for a Korean supercar to come to market.

I believe this car is in the Forza Motorsport 2 game for the xbox 360. A friend calls it his "Walmart Ferrari" every time he brings it out to race with. The Proto "Walmart Ferarri" Spirra. Gotta say, it does have a good ring to it!!!

Exactly. The Spirra is already sort of a kit car-ish, no brand equity (I know it may sound shallow, but at $100K+, the brand of my car counts), and an F5 (or several other cottage brands, kits, could be built cheaper, or faster for the same price, and the end results would be the same "What is that?").

No spankyou.

The rear end looks a bit awkward.

Why did they start throwing wirings onto the car before it was even painted?

This is not a valid statement since you could say this about any supercar

People are just very loyal to brand names no matter how much they deny.

Car looks great and seems great on paper. However, I find it hard to buy a sports/sports luxury from any company that does not invest itself in motorsports.
