For the price of this car there are SO many better ways to get there! I think you could buy 3 UGR R-package Gallardo's for the price of this car, and end up with 3 cars that are faster, more reliable, and not even comparable when it comes to quality. The Venom GT is a WAY overpriced kit car. Anyone who thinks differently needs to explain to me how a removable top being a $150,000 option is even remotely reasonable.

Ehh because whoever has a Venom GT has money..... Could give a rats *** about anything else. Whoever owns a Venom GT could easily buy 3 UGR Lambos also. But they might just like the looks or something else on it. Yea we ALL know you can do a lot of things with cars for less money then buying a half mill or million plus car. But its not about the money for people who own these cars buddy.....

I know, but usually the "buy X car and put X amount into it and it will be faster" isn't the same when the expensive car is basically a Lotus with a big engine in it being compared to much nicer cars. With as little R&D went into this car (from what I get out of everything I've read, it STILL isn't really a finished car), you could actually hire people to design and build you your own kit car for less money. This is a $150-200k custom made kit car, and Hennessey selling these for more than 5X that, AND having a $150k removable roof option (that should be more like 1% of that, ~$1500), proves to me that this guy is still just as big of a crook as he was when he was stealing Viper parts and charging people for parts they weren't actually getting.
