Just watched it.... and I still don't get what all the hype is about...

Edit:
I'd kind of like to see a written review on the thing too... the video doesn't really tell us much more than the pictures do...

Quicktime finally finished lol. Car looks good, sounds like it had a little bit of wheel hop on the launch but not too bad. Off to work I go

well about the looks of the car, they kept that ridiculous antenna, and the car is riding way high still, but it sounded pretty nice from what i heard.
now just waiting on the write up.

Cool thing is that that looks like it was filmed at the proving grounds in Tempe. Well, at least it looks like the proving grounds, since I was there a couple years back.

Can't wait for the review.

Only 5 pics? For shame.
