914 Body kits, anyone? :twisted:
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

how many miles would you need to drive to pay for that purchase price if concerned about mpg? I would buy a viper for 30g used and lap it at an auto-x :)

---And it 504 years, maybe equal the price/mpg :)

Oh to be rich , I would teach them how to do it.

Naaa, the MPG figures on a $600K car are only to demonstrate that you are "green".

The Boxter version with the V6 + electric will probably be somewhat more "normally" priced.
(For some definitions of "normal", the stupid things were originally supposed to be sanely priced)

This sucks and I can't explain why, other than it's top secret, and for the ones that don't understand either in part or whole the meaning of top secret, in other words your not in the loop, it's well above your pay grade, and finally the need to know basis, which goes back to Top Secret and starts over again.

Does everyone understand.... :lol:
