    Don't know, but if you need someone to swing by and take a look at this one for you, it's about 30 minutes from my home.

    Happy to pop over and test drive it for you and report back.

    Oldsmobile engine could have something to do with it. I know it's not a standard Olds engine, but the name doesn't conjure any feelings or emotions.

    And the interior sucks.

    Rushed to production. Customer cars were more like
    Prototypes. Car needed another year of R&D / fine tuning.

    It doesn't have the looks, racing history or the mechanicals of classic. I like them a lot but it is likes greatest hits album at the end of stunning career.

    Looks kind of like a kit car. I wonder how it drives?

    Like rubbish from what I've read. I really do think it's a cool looking car though. Screams '90's-early 00's. That and the Saleen S7.

    Hi,

    If you have a chance read the book "Snake Bit " by Eric Davison. A warts and all story on the Series 1.

    Regards,

    Looks a lot like a Viper of its era, except the price is 2-3X due to the more limited production. However, both have appreciated equally about 25-30% over the past decade.
