Now, if they could keep it at $68K, I would pick up a side job.
Though I do think the reviewer is slightly biased to towards domestic offerings.
If I did actually have one, no electric anything would get to be a grind after a while. That is if I could keep it on the road without ABS/traction/stability control. I know my skills at all times are not all that.

68,000 UK, or about $100k+ USD. Isn't this the latest incarnation of the Noble? Or, completely different?

Re: Ginneta G60
That's about right. The problem is that is slightly more than a new GT-R.PGT wrote:68,000 UK, or about $100k+ USD.
And while the G60 is cool and exclusive, I know where I'd drop my money.

Re: Ginneta G60
As a car's price rises, there comes a point where the decision to buy becomes an emotional one. If the only choices in this thought experiment are the Ginnetta or GT-R, the G60 get's my emotional vote.

Re: Ginneta G60
^^^ Gotta agree with Gabe on this one. I LOVE the GTR, but I can see the G60 really getting the blood pumping.

Re: Ginneta G60
sounds slow to meGinetta boss Lawrence Tomlinson loved the old F400 dearly, but wanted something a bit more consistent. He halted production of that car and set to work on the G60 you see above. It houses a 3.7-litre Ford ‘Cyclone' V6 engine - the same engine used in the 185mph GT3 racing Ginetta - mounted in the middle, sending 310 horses and 288 torques to the rear wheels. 0-60mph is quoted as 4.9 seconds, while top speed if somewhere north of 165mph.

Re: Ginneta G60
Yes, rear wheel drive with no traction or stability control does sound slow. But it feels damn fast.PGT wrote:sounds slow to me
But the weight/power numbers are not all that different from a GTR or R8. Them aint slow.

Re: Ginneta G60
Ya, I think that the 0-60 is misleading. I'm guessing that it just cannot hook up without traction control (or larger tires). No doubt with the power numbers and the weight, this thing would be a blast to drive.
