My buddy owns one of these.

Honestly, I never really thought much of it, in comparison to his other cars.

Pretty cool that it's powered by a K20A motor.

The US importer is based at Virginia International Raceway. They offer both track only, and street legal versions. Previous versions were powered by GM Ecotech engines. They are pretty sweet. My understanding is teh street version is 50 states legal depending on the engine installed. They are supposed to have a V8 version coming out. They wouldn't tell us much about last time we were up there, though. Here is their website, they track day deals you can get in on.
If you atrat dding options they get pricey quick.

Nice sweet very fast car. Not the kind of car you'd want driving around Texas though. Big trucks and SUV's and Semi's on the Texas road here, one mistake you'd be like a dead bug on the windshield.

Its a sweet ride, I'll pay to drive that in the freeway for couple of minutes.

I like the black color scheme, but I also like how the red one has an anti roll bar...
