$94,950? Really?
I guess this is what happens when someone gets their hands on something they have no idea the actual value...

Looks like a cartoon.
But, as they say in the car biz, there's an a$$ for every seat!

Hi Matt. At that price, it would have to be a drunk at an auction.  |

Oh dear...
I'm ashamed to admit that there are aspects of that car that I really like. 
You must admit - it would look quite nice in your garage next to a Martini decal styled Porsche.
I think I might need to up my meds  |

I agree with Dimis.
If they think they'll get close to that $94,000 figure, then they're nuts. But can't discount the fact that there are alot of folks out there that are both stupid and rich out.  |

Good advertisement and a way to boost up normal sale prices a bit? Or a hail Mary?
Not for the price, but I actually kinda like it.

Its different. Disregarding the price and shape of the car... IMO: If the exterior paint was a nice dark Slate Gray color with a single Black Euro stripe down the middle and around the nose, the car could be changed to a stealthy track car theme.
I don't mind the dark wheels, dash, and gauges. There are a few elements that make it interesting but not for the asking price. The right changes to the car in a few key areas could transform the entire look using what's already there as a base platform.

Half of that price is the dealer's commission

A friend of mine owns an amazing looking and performing Backdraft roadster. I believe he said it's a special light weight model "RTX"? and I'm pretty sure the roller was way more than $35,900. Not trying to justify the asking price... only curious as to how you determined the car listed is just a base model.
Thanks.

If it is the RTX, the $45k for the rolling chassis includes the big brake upgrade kit and the LSR (plus other options not listed in Jays post).

Todd-yes, saw your car and it looks killer. Really like the color combo, the pin color makes it unique which I like. Motor looks like a beast in there for sure, I was thinking about how (if I had that top) I would rig a couple of nylon slings to may drive on lift to get the top off. My wife wouldn't be able to handle the other side for sure. Love the dash too...
Chomping at the bit!!!

Thanks for the feedback Gary! I'm sure you are with me in the anticipation is killing me. I was thinking the same thing about the top. Not sure how much it weights but I doubt my wife will be able to left it either. Looking at doing a pulley system to lift it once it gets here and I get my eyes on it. Looks like your car is not far off. Sure you are excited!

Seeing that it has a TON of carbon fiber, a Martini paint job and a Coyote in it I could see it being worth that much to the supercar guys. You gotta remember too that it is for sale by a dealer so you can instantly add AT LEAST $15k to the price.
It is listed for the same amount on their website too btw
