Me and a buddy of mine went to BestBuy because he wanted to buy a new Trivium CD and we saw this all alone in the back of the lot with only one spot next to it. Sure enough, we parked next to it as you can see lol. His car was kinda dirty though. Sorry for the low quality cell phone pic's.

GREAT car for the money! Hell it's a great car for 25,000 more than they sell for! Hand built engine! :brock:

I just can't get into it's looks. I understand that it's fast, but the design is all over the place.

Watch the video... THIS car has a reason for it... Not just to be different. Much like a Hayabusa GSX1300R.

video isn't working for me. There's just a huge white empty box.

Still not overly impressed. Had 3 show up at a track day recently. You figure that out of 3, at least 1 would have a driver who could drive it. Nope. I was driving a Lotus Elise and left them all behind. I understand that this car can probably do magnificent things in the hands of a pro - but how many pros are showing up at track days with these things?

Also, it's fitted with Potenza RE070 tires. For those of you that aren't familiar with these tires, they are the grippiest tires allowable for SCCA racing in their Street Tire class (140 treadwear). In other words, once you get anything with a softer compound, they're called "race tires"! By way of comparisson, the new C6 Z06 comes with tires that are a 220 treadwear - almost 60% harder!!

Oh, and as for the aerodynamics - I can tell you that this car does NOT have the best aero package. The rear wing isn't as effective as that fitted to a standard EVO, and it generates more lift than a Lotus Elise.

Now, like I said, I'm sure that this car is capable of amazing feats. I'm sure that, in the right hands, it can be as monsterous of an opponent as any other car.

I just haven't seen it.

If I could afford it I would have one. I agree the looks could be better, but all wheel drive and all that power=one fun ride.

So... who put the Holden front end on their 350 Z????? And... what's with the VSS rear spoiler???

GM Should sue!!!!!

If GM raises the price of the G8 $8 grand like the Nissan GT - R, after a month, they better damn well put a magnacharger on it.
