Understand... From an OEM & sales standpoint... Sports cars freaking suck. About they only thing they're good for is styling, then styling the rest of your line to suite. & on the chance people think it's ugly, or sucks hind tit. You're pony'ing tens of thousands of cars & very little profit out the tube instead of hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of sales out the window if you screw your main production car.


those two statements right there is the ANSWER. I know we all want performance cars from our favorable company (even I) but we all have to face reality and business.

Lol - I once in awhile on TN get people asking me if I'm selling my kit or car. Its slow as fudge, but many do like the look. I'm happy with that for now. Looks sporty
