Default Garbage for the money...

IMHO, I'm not trying to be super critical, but some of the early Series 1 cars were complete junk... window seals coming off, cracking fiberglass, wavy fiberglass, HUGE GAPS in body panels. It really made me wonder about the rest of the car underneath given all the early hype and praise about the chassis, setup, etc....

There was a driver test a few years back ( I won't mention names or articles) and the driver took the Series One around the big oval at top speed, quickly pulled off and stated "get me out of this thing"! For the money, I know a few guys who "were" going to buy one ended up buying a Z06 instead and saving the cash. It goes to show you, if you do it right the first time, it will usually succeed. Too bad, it seems like it could have been a very cool option to other cars for some, had it been done just a bit better. On another note, remember the Dodge Shelby Charger?
