    I have. To me they're a bit like a Biz Jet. Put your left foot on the brake, put it in 1, bring revs to 5K, release your brake foot, plant the throttle and 10.5 seconds later you've traveled the quarter. It happens so fast that you can't shift but it will shift for you.

    The car is an engineering marvel but seemed like a big sedan to me rather than a sports car.

    It is very complex and had incredible systems to keep it going and cool. It's twin wet clutch gearbox is a marvel but the car seemed massive to me. Way massive.

    It's looks don't do anything for me.

    At one time I was talking to them about "P 4/5ing" one of them but they weren't too helpfull so I moved on. I would have needed a bit of engineering help from them but they weren't willing. My idea was to remove about 1000 lbs., make it 2WD lengthen the wheelbase and put a beautiful body on it. PF did a study which was fantastic but such is life.

    I think to move a car these days you have to be very realistic. There are a lot of cars for sale.

    fascinating concept, a shame they weren't so helpful.

    anything else you've considered P4/5-ing?

    That would have been awesome!! A lot of cars are uninspiring these days. Thank God we have people like you building true works of art to bring back the spirit of the old days.
