Default Mystery Car

Ok, bear with me here. I did not have my camera on me so I can only describe it. I am pretty good with cars (i.e. this is the first car I have ever seen on the road and not known what it is). So here it goes.

Seen: corner of Drew St. and Ft. Harrison
Time: 6:30 pm Saturday
Color: maroon/burgandy
Looks like: cross between a Saleen S7 and a Vector M12
Badging/nameplate: none
Height: looked to be no more than 40 inches. I am guessing 36 inches.
Sound: sounded like a v8
Tail lights: round if I remember correctly.

Sorry, not much to go on. The car looked really good and I have seen them all.

CAN YOU NAME THIS CAR?

No, it more like if a Saleen S7 and a Vector M12 had a baby.

Saleen S7


Vector M12

That is what I was thinking but it was a really well put together kit car. Most kit cars are pretty cheezy. However, this car was gorgeous. Oh well, guess I will never figure out what it was.

Thanks for the responses!

I know a guy that has an M12, I didn't realize how affordable they we're, considering the performance of them. Weren't the like $150k new when most lambo's and ferrari's were over the 200k mark?
