yeah been looking at this thing come along for a while but never seen the price.
NO ****ING WAY THAT THING IS WORTH $850K!!!!
Are you ****ing kidding me? $850K??? that thing is worth a porsche Carrrera Gt + a Ferrari F430 + a ZR1??
How the **** is that? and if you say its because the 1200hp thats BS because thats about the cheapest part of the build.
theyre using LS3s, those crate motors are only $6500, go on my corvette forum and you will find tons serious twin turbo LS builds, 1000+hp is doable with off the shelf systems and a serious engine build but and can be done properly for under $50K. So lets say they somehow spend twice that, $100K on the twin turbo LS build...So how does the extra $150K for the next 200hp work? Unbelievable.
So after the 100K motor, wheres the rest of the $750K? Even if they were making these all on full carbon fiber tubs that would be a hard to swallow, but theyre just using stretched Lotus frames! A Lotus is $40K! and Im sure they are buying just the frames from Lotus like Tesla does, so what, thats like $10-15K tops on the frames? You gotta be kidding me.
