That doesn't look mid-engine.

The engine is between the axles, so yes, it is mid-engine.

Hehehe...

What's the over/under on a new set of tails?

I can live with the tail lights. It's the ricer wing that kills it for me.

I'm not sure I'm wild about the paisley with red mirrors. If you can get different colors on the mirrors, I'm sold.

I just wonder if the car will actually produce real downforce or just limit some of the usual lift.

I'd guess it makes downforce.

That wing looks... well... awful.

And no, I am not saying that about wings in general. The wing on the C7-R, fine. The wing on the ACR, awesome. 911 GT3 RS wing is a work of art.

That thing? From those pictures, looks like something from Pep Boys that got stuck on as an afterthought to try to keep up with the ACR (which is exactly why they put it there).

Holy hell. It looks even worse from the back. What's with the massive AoA of that thing?

I'm pretty sure that's why it looks so damn rice-a-riffic as opposed to the ACR/GTS RS/C7-R
