For a cool quarter million I could have some shop build me something insane and pointless too.

I’d imagine most of the money goes into the leading-edge tech inside, so I’d give them the same type of leeway that I imagine one needed to give to exotics back in the day.

What area are you in?

Where I am at they obviously are not too excited to lose even one customer to a competitor (Tesla Motors) but pretty much echo the gentleman quoted in the article and understand that some shoppers have criteria that are not “traditional”.

People that are knowledgeable and have been in the business…

There might be hypocrisy in his statement, but I’ve never been impressed with Tesla’s build quality myself, especially on the inside.

Ohio, born and raised!

Dead brands and all that...

Please go spew your political rhetoric on the other Gawker pages. This is an auto enthusiast site. If we wanted to read media bias, we see the links to the left.

Downplaying it is smart with how many people won’t get that this hack as is really isn’t a threat to anyone.

There is a R&T article who’s title describes it perfectly. The original NSX was only good because it wasn’t great. It didn’t have mind blowing performance. Everything about the NSX was reasonable, logical and validated. This recipe meant you could thrash it around a track for hours, turn off and drive it home. Some…
