[Phil]

What do you think of this ? I have been in one twice now and they are amazing.

look good man..  what is that? half Honda S2000 and Covette? hehe

 

[Saleen Man]

Looks like a hybrid Toyota mr2 2 seater.  I cant think of the name of the new 2 seater that toyota has, but it looks like a hybrid version of it.  
Nice pic Phil.   Any details of the car??

I think the VX220 is the best. it looks exellent. I have GT3 and i have driven it and it is quite powerfull.
I couldnt decide between a Lotus elise and a VX220 though.

You can only get it with a 2.2 16v engine. The VX220 will do 135mph and more importantly 0-60 in 5.6. It weighs 875kg. The engine isn't that powerful - probably about 140-150 bhp but because it is so light, it is very quick. It is actually built by Lotus and it based on the original Elise. I will try and find some more pics as well.

why not dirve it on GT3, its basically a Opel Speedster, with a different name

 

[Talentless]

No, the Speedster is another model.

 

[BMW///M3]

Same chassis and ahare components.  Like the Monte Carlo or the Grand Prix.  THe Camaro or the Firbird.  The Opel Omega or the Cadilliac CTS. I guess I could stop now. OH the old mustangs and cougars, the durango and dakota, the TOyata Matrix or Pontaic VIbe.  See my point?

 

[Talentless]

I know that, and platform sharing is nothing new. It is about the character of a vehicle.

that is i would expect as much that they are probably the same

btw, here you go.

gee check out the Z3 prototype. Ya know I love Bimmers, and they have awesome styling, but that Z3 looks kinda like a pontiac with the front!

Here is one pic - I am looking for more but there don't seem to be that many on the net.
