Oh my, I should have added the Zonda somewhere in there. The Zonda is on a whole different level than any other supercar design. It`s very organic. It desn`t have the "industrial" feel.

That car is like a very fine Italian suit that has been crafted by hand with a lot of care. Thats something you don`t see in any other supercar.

They've pretty much improved on everything without making it a totally different car.

Yeah, I remeber the thread you created on the Sport SLR. The improvements
should be really impressive to say the least. I believe MB is being a little too
conservitive with those numbers though, thats very typical of them.

This is a really old article I remember reading almost a year ago. Its where they compare the beachcraft to the SLR based on the Carbon Fiber structures of both..Not a bad read.
