A lot (read: ALL) small-volume supercars use parts-bin items like gauges, interior trim, steering wheels, electronics, light assemblies, ABS systems, etc. This is nothing new at all. Parts like that are extremely expensive to manufacture and test, and most companies simply can't do it. If you make everything from…

Oh yeah, that's a fantastic idea. Lets brick everyones cell phone because of a few idiots.

And I think '87 was the only year they made it too?

Yeah 5-speed IROC/Z28's from that era are like unicorns.

You could get a LOT more power out of those motors with some relatively easy modifications. They were choked by regulation, not technology.

I hardly think that Salon is a shill for the auto industry.

I'm glad to see them working on 944's and 928's also. Too many Porsche guys ignore those models.

There's no such thing as an 'Electric M3'. It's a BMW frame with an electric motor in it. It ceased to be an M3 when they pulled the engine out.

Those boys really know how to handle a stick.

Wow, all the hate here for this company is astonishing, especially since we only have part of the story so far.

Pretty sure his employees will be in jail if they're found at fault, and he figured that would go without saying. He could have included something about 'cooperating with authorities', but I don't know what else you'd want the statement to say.

Yeah, that was a pretty brutal crash. The guy in the Ferrari didn't just blow the light, he was going very fast.
