But that thing is butt-ugly.
It might be a great performer, but you'd need to put a body kit on it, or something. Eek.

But to each his own. My personal preference would be toward something lighter and simpler, like the Noble M12 GT0, a 300-hp, 1000kg car. [/b][QUOTE]

Saw one of these at Le Mans, they do look good and go well.

Fair enough the Tuscan is radical in the looks department, however the TVR is pretty light and simple - 1100kg 390BHP normally aspirated engine, no ABS or traction control. It does have power steering though.
And the chassis has been raced and crashed for years.

How simple is the Ford duratec V6 with twin turbos grafted on?
