    The outside doesn't look bad. The interior is hideous.  I"m sure the engine is a grenade.

    Looks like some generic sportscar tyre brands use in their ads 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Those screens sticking out like that hurts my eyes but that steering wheel from KITT in Knight Rider enlightened ... tight winding corners must be a delight with that wheel

    Re: Hennessey Venom F5

    All I want is a simple car with a simple engine: Why doesn't a US manufacturer make a nice lightweight (1200 kg at max) sports car with that 6.4 l n/a HEMI from the SRT models? Or something with AWD and the 6.2 l supercharged HEMI? No need for extreme power figures is the weight if "right".

    I know, it is impressive to offer a car with 1300, 1500 or even more hp but let's be honest here: Do owners want to brag with power figures and (sometimes) theoretical performance numbers or really drive these cars and enjoy them?

    I always loved the Dodge Challenger/Charger models with Hellcat engine (6.2 l supercharged HEMI, engine is bulletproof), the engine is a treat but these cars have serious traction issues. I get it, they are basically made for drag racing and fun on the drag strip but I still wonder why Dodge doesn't offer a serious sports car with AWD and this engine? Even 1600 kg of weight would be enough to compete with the top of the line sports cars. This could be a nice competitor for the Corvette for example. Smiley I have no affinity for drag racing (I love watching though), so cars like the Challenger or Charger are pointless for me. Drove a Demon a few months ago, I returned the car back after only 15 minutes because it was basically undriveable (it was cold that day, around 13°C and traction was a serious issue, even at 180 to 200 kph Smiley). Some people may enjoy this kind of driving, I don't.

    I wonder if the engine can be replaced somewhat reasonably, given it's only a modified LS motor (Corvette motors are cheap)?
