I do like the seats, minus the orange...Bet the smell of new leather is mmmm.

I can't wait to see one of these in person, so that I can say if I like it or not. I bet if the grill was a little more like the V1 (less blingy) and that rear wheel to window ratio was much less, it would be really good looking!

I should go test drive one though someday, just to see how it drives

It's begging to be dropped a few inches with much wider wheels and meat out back. Looks pretty awesome though.

I just wish the rear was less bulky and the performance was more than just a little better than the sedan.

More-

...you can tell its a 2door when your looking at the front of it,...via the chopped APPEARING roof line. Car needs to be lowered,..with 345's out back,..and call it a day.

werd.

It'll probably drop 20+++ pounds with a different exhaust.... as this rear can,...is ONE BIG MUFFLER,...stretching nearly the width of the car. I'd just due straight pipes, with cats on this thing lol. It'd sound pretty exotic...and pissed at the same time.

I honestly believe it needs different wheels....and a lower stance. From behind,...coming up on it,..it has a very exotci look to it. A low,..wide, sleek look. If you can imagine coming up on ,..lets say a C6 Z06, or ZR1...you can tell,..from a mile away,...its something special,...something sport oriented,..possibly an exotic,..regardless, you know its something wild. Thats stock, that it has that effect on me. Imagine if it was lowered,...and had a serious wheel out back?... it would look amazing.

With the factory stance,..factory wheels,...it will, at that certain angle(frontal side)... it looks a tad weird....but,..again,..wheels and suspension would fix that,..I think. Something with a big FAT LIP.
