Wow, I don't know how you can jusitfy calling this a piece of crap. Don't be so naive.
I mean they could have done a better job on the looks of the car if they did such a great job on the drivetrain......and for a million dollars....na ...na... na..
Gotch'ya. I would imagine that the overall shape and form of the car plays a HUGE roll in the downforce department...which you need tons of to achieve 252mph safely. For some reason, I like the styling. It's very different. The rear hatch area that displays the engine just looks incredible.
On a side note, AutoWeek did a spread on this car either this week or last. It's a good read and the car has some really cool features.
