Lance - nice guy. He looks at me with apparent genuine pity when I broach the subject.

Oh darn. Stuck with one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen with only 414HP.

Wait, I've been on vacation for a few days. Did I miss something? Is the Spyder RS an actual thing now? Or we still dreaming?

It's been an actual thing for a long time, despite several not believing so. LOL

Do you know how they are addressing the air intakes? I hope it is similar to the GT4 RS

Yeah, the intakes look just hacked into the back. They seem to take a lot away from the smooth lines of a normal Spyder. Maybe the final product will look different?

I have been wondering what my roof would look like if I had a shop remove the wings as they don't seem to serve any real purpose. Now I know. Not too much of a fan of that look but I know the performance makes up for it.

Seeing this the purpose is to smooth out the silhouette from the side view, that photo makes the back of the roof look like a folded napkin!

I don't know about different, there is no camouflage to speak of on that car so it might be close to final! Not even a cool hood or fenders...

And from this angle the rook looks like it was torn off...
