OK, Mr. Kiley, wizard copy writer and marketing guru, let's see... it's got a "start of the art" chassis...you misspell your hero instructor driver's name and you tell us that the 1.88 HP per cubic inch 427 makes 800"+"HP and 750 RWHP-a drive train loss in the vicinity of 6%. On pump gas, may I ask? Oh and the Fischer-Price instrument display is included in the $475K price?? Hmmmmmm...

Stuff like this causes the credibility meter to not move the needle off the peg.

Claudio, Robert and Ernie should be much more concerned about who puts their faces forward on the web and in their brochure or the phones won't ring.
