If they can offer a real track package (aero, coilovers, BBK, semi-slick tires) for this beast, it wouldn't need much else to smoke the competition at the local circuit. (certainly not power if the 0-60 claim is true)
Well that happens when you get bailed out of bankruptcy, zero out debt, then rack the debt back up to $100M in 8 or so years...
