Dodge Demon to Compete against MX-5 and Solstice?
Found this while looking at the C6 Z06-R link in another thread. Interesting. I kind of like it. Some of the design is a bit cartoonish but I'm all for more small roadsters on the market. Especially if it were really to come with these specs:
Oh, and if it came to market, there's a possiblity an SRT4 version may soon follow . . . with up to 300 hp. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2007/02/...ept-2009-2010/ |

Looks like a Boxster crossed with an S2K.

Why not just get an S2000?

IF they meet their target weight AND they come out with a 300 hp SRT4 version you would get a roaster that's 200+ lb. lighter than the S2000 with 60 more hp and probably a lot more torque.
And I would hope it'd probably be cheaper. Admittedly, that's a pretty big if. |

Is it just me, or does that rear end looks kind of like a 997 rear mixed with a DB9 rear?
Edit: talking about the tail-lights mostly. |

That thing is the bastard child of far too many other cars to count.
They had a perfectly good coupe concept version damnit! |
