The window controls on the center consol are the same as well.

I like the interior other than the flat screen used for the instruments.

It was only a tenth faster than an ACR at Laguna Seca.

ACR - 100K
Devon - 500K

There is more to driving than just speed but I'm not seeing a 400k difference. Ferrari? yes. Porsche? yes. Devon? Never heard of them before. Have to wait and see what happens. If it throws a beat down on a shitload of competition then everyone will want one. If not, it'll just be another U.S. supercar that fell short.

That said, I'll bet it looks much better in person.

Hmmm, almost looks The Viper a la European and priced like it too.


Then someone was bored and had a geek come up with their take on a 70's Tran-Am interior.

lol I must agree with Puto on this one.

And Chuck.

For a shit load of money, I think I'd buy into a name that has been proven for a long long time.. Again like Chuck said, Porsche, Ferrari...

to some people, 500k is like a 1k, would you pay 1k for that car? yes

Thats a bit of a stretch. Price aside I like the car. And people will still buy it.

No one on here can afford the price of an ACR or the GTX anyways so there is no reason to bitch about it.

lol I know people with money, 99 percent of people with money have earned it and know the value of it. Even people who inherit it for the most part, will buy bentleys and ferrari's and real race cars over a werid waste of money (imho) all day long. It's not going anywhere imo again

And there are play boys with tons of money and they will buy them, or people who have money and just like the car. The planned production run per year is in the 20's. Its not like they planned on making a million of these things.

Theres the Wiesman made in germany thats close to 400k and its even more pointless and more of a shitty car than the GTX but it looks awesome and its handbuilt. People will still buy that too.

Ascari A10's are 300k+

Pagani Zonda are 300k+

Konesegge or what ever is similar in price.

Guess what all those companys have been around less than I have (20). And the GTX stacking up to be faster than all of those except prbably A10.

People still buy them. So the people bitching about price can stop now.I agree the price is stupid, but get over it.

Sometimes..You should keep comments to yourself.Just sayin'.

500k,for that?Nope.

I'd rather buy a F430,and a Murcielago.

I'm sure it will sell though,There's more than a few people that collect "unique" cars like this.
