    need help identifying something

    ok, i went up to new york city this weekend for a friends bday. saw a 67 stingray corvette, and a lotus esprit. saw one thing on the way up, but no idea what the hell it is. only saw it from behind, so ill describe as best i can. it has 3 tail lights on each side, same size as those on the enzo, but spaced and placed like on a corvette c5/c6. VERY low to the ground, like 50-55 inches tall max. very wide feeling, but not actually that wide, about as wide as a saleen s7 (has a wide feeling to it cause its has kinda rounded sides on the back, giving it a rather "fat" appearance, but it does not "squat" really, the curves start from the bottom outwards). if you can tell me what kind of car this is, thank you soooo much. post rear pics of w/e you think it is

    The first 2 things that came to mind are Koenigsegg CC :

    not the ultima either. btw, color might help, it was a very.....unique orange. kind alike the orange koeniggsegg pic above, but darker, kinda like someone dripped a bit of brown paint in there and it mixed into the orange very very well

    looked kinda like that.....but more low slung to the ground, with the passenger area more......flowing into the rear i guess would be how to say it.

    no.....the rear seemed like a vettes, in terms of where the passenger seeting was and the tail lights, but more.........enzo like in terms of how it went from passenger area to back. except this thing had 3 tail lights, so it instantly cant be either.

    not that one either, there was much more of a slope from the passenger's to the rear.
