That's what I thought, I'll try to find some specs about that...
I don't really like the car itself... I could have been great but they messed up with the design (look at those wheels.... )... Anyway, just matter of taste I guess...

Anybody ever raced one ?

The 0-60 time is listed at 5.9 seconds, so given that the SC430 is easier to launch, there is a chance to lose to one.

1/4 miles times is ~14.4, so once the cars get moving, there should be no problem pulling away from one.
