Quicker and more nimble in every way. Definitely more raw. Maybe not for everyone, but for the dedicated sport driver, this car rocks.

If you go to that step then you're also going to need a red phone under a glass cheese holder so commissioner Gordon can get a hold of you.

Unreal and spectacular. I might have to stop by Vision Motorsports for a look around as I had never heard of them until now!

If your going to any local meets I'll have to come and take a look at this beast! My Spyder believes it deserves the same treatment.

You need the clear engine cover now! It might be loud, and could tip off the smog station, but.....

That's assuming he's not storing the roof in the trunk. Would definitely be cool though, sad to see that engine buried in the middle and completely hidden.
