He's only the development leader for the GT500KR, what does he know?(ha-ha) I don't think one of his strong suits is public speaking, hence all the mmmms and ahhhhhhs, although he seems to have a grasp on what they want from this car, but of course he's purposely being somewhat vague. Car seems like a departure from the current GT500(much more developed and precise-at least from the press clippings and specs I've read), with amore single-minded intent, high performance without apologies. Hopefully this translates into the production cars.......

That could have been it as well. I dont know who the guy was, it just looks horrible when you are being interviewed and you are searching for words. I didnt watch that much of the video, mainly cause I just wanted to see the test drive

.

It does look like a nice car, but looks just like the regular GT500 with a new hood... (was that the point)? I would also think they would give it more hp as well.... That very minor hp difference can be made up by a CAI and a tune from what Ive been hearing about the GT500. I do like those blue stripes though...

okay they need a better rep to talk about the car, a total moron, my girlfriend, detailed the car more to me in person when we went to see in NY than that guy did.
