    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Post 1, pic 4. The wheels are photoshopped. Weird.


    Oh and I don't like it. Didn't like it last time, still don't like it this time.

    Unfortunately it seems to be true. They need to associate the car with something great they did in the past just to get them off their hands.

    But does it has the savage melody the old 5.5-litre supercharged V8 had? God I like that sound...

    More photochoped press photos. Maybe some quality real photo's will show up some day.

    The press release doesn't tell you it's the weight champion of supercars . Wonder if they fixed the drive-bye-wire brake system? Afterall, BMW did so with the Z4 M-coupe's steering.

    It'd be nice if it was a bit more of a clubsport version and a bit less more-of-the-same. An SLR with a manual gearbox and some proper track tuning would be one hell of a car. They should let McLaren loose with it to make one.

    Err... RTFA

    Power is up from 626 to 650bhp and this 722 editon gets a revised, stiffer suspension set up, 10mm lower ride height and larger brakes.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Sounds like from a 350Z to a 350Z GT4 special edition, nothing too special.

    And what does "RTFA" mean?
