Look how damn tiny that thing is!! 850HP quad-turbo AMG V12.. :headbang:


In Chrysler's own tests, conducted on a 12,000-ft. long runway at an abandoned military airbase (Wurtsmith AFB) at Oscoda, Michigan, the car ran 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, to 100 mph in 6.2 seconds (faster than most cars get to 60 mph) and ran a 10.6 second quarter-mile at 136 mph

But you can't make the Chrysler brand fetch the money that the Mercedes/BMW/Exotics brands can fetch overnight. DaimlerChrysler is moving in the right direction though....in that they let the Germans design the car...and the Americans design the engine.

And your sources are what exactly? How are you qualified to make such a statement?

You really think that a 850HP quad-turbo V12 is going to be about the same cost as an NSX???

Riiiiight.

the only reason why this domestic looks good...is because it doesn't look like a domestic. lol

We might get one of those when they come out.... depends on price and how much it stays in line with the concept. It's an amazing automobile. Accelerates faster than an Enzo. Too bad Chrysler name doesn't ooze sophistication like a Ferrari does. But if all you're in to is the name brand of the car, then you probably drive a base model Boxster and most likely are a trendy poseur fagot. :)
