[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16314151, member: 193575"] you sound like a [U][i]willfully [/i][/U]ignorant fanboy here so I'll let you have a peak at the reasoning behind my statement as a courtesy despite your ridiculous assertion being ill-deserving of any response. 4200lbs. okay. you need bigger tires, more aero (which at speed make the car "heavier"), bigger brakes, more gas, more power, which means more cooling which means more fluid to fill larger coolers etc etc etc. oh and all that power you need? well now you can break stuff easier so you're gonna need larger and more stout axles/driveshafts. more weight. its a viscous cycle that only gets worse and why? because you started with a heavy car and gave no consideration for fixing the real problem. why? because the target isn't "best" its "best stats". weight ruins everything - Jeremy Clarkson. and he's right. that doesn't mean it isn't a cool car. performing well on paper means absolutely NOTHING in terms of fun. a lot of people like highway queens, dyno queens, and are fine with a car that can handle well before it eats tires like a mofo because it weighs a thousand pounds more than it should. its a technical marvel but is it fun? idunno. this car will sell for lots of reasons but the highlight will not be road race domination.
