    The shape was nice, but anyone who drove it reported it as having the WORST handling of a modern sportscar ever encountered.

    The only folks who'd have wanted this into production were the panel-beaters union

    really disliked the triangle theme in the back...the profile is good though. i think the new ME Four-Twelve design is much better, however.

    You need to do some more research if that impresses you kid. Ever heard of the Ford GT, Saleen S7, Hennesey Viper, Mosler, Lingenfelter 427TT, the list goes on.... When we make performance cars, we make real perfomance cars, none of the FWD bull$hit.

    No 360 has won as many European rallies as original GTis.

    Performance depends on what you want to do with it

    Buick GNX is RWD , but I get your point, American manufacturers have made some decent performing FWD cars, the Taurus SHO was the biggest surprise for me ... pulled a lot harder than I had imagined.

    I have driven one

    The place that I have found that you can actually drive one is in the game The Need For Speed. It does pretty well in the game. Just thought I would let everyone know that.

    Yeah, it's NFS 2.

    But I think there's a little difference between driving at NFS or on the Asphalt of Hockenheim, Silverstone, Nardo etc.

    Mainly i was moching the Civic type-R, a rice boys dream. The SRT-4 and the SVT Focus are around mainly because of the rice boy craze on perfomance family cars and compacts. And the SHO is just plain out a sleeper.
