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?

That's about right. The problem is that is slightly more than a new GT-R.
And while the G60 is cool and exclusive, I know where I'd drop my money.

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.

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

Ginetta 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.
sounds slow to me

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

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.
