The real pics look better than the render, thats for sure.

I still like the look of the LP560 Gallardo over this though.

i think it really looks like they took the Enzo's body and shrunk it down, with a few cosemtic changes obviously, so that makes this one seriously badass car for me. I've always loved the Enzo, the front end needed improving though, and this car will do exactly that.


on a side note, i wanna know how much that addition on DI added to the output of this car. maybe GM will take notes from this and add it to some LS motors. maybe some sort of updated LS7 with DI??? or maybe its just wishful thinking...

Oh, well you said you were not a fan of the tail lights, and I said I love them. Then I added that the Bugatti Veyron tail lights are my favorite tail lights ever produced. yes?

No I got your post alright, and agree with you on the Veyron lights as well, I just didn't understand this post...

sorry I was dead tired when I wrote that, I meant "that front end has no character at all" It looks plain to me, I will admit from a side view its nice but I hate how it looks in the front end shot. Looks like they took Porsche lights and Audi lights and mashed them together. I also don't like how they gave the front air vents a more conservative look or the vents in the spacing of the lights.

What's up with the triangular voids between the headlights & the hood? Makes the front look goofy. Probably catches enough air to pressurize the engine bay & lift that hood a good 1/4" @ high speed.
