    I'm curious to see how it sells with that front end. The rest of the lines look good, rear end is excellent, but the nose seems like a total miss. Maybe in black or another dark color it'll be easier on the eyes.

    I'm with you on the front end, but I'm a "less is more" sort of guy. I've always loved the sleek lines of Aston Martins, for example. The current front end seems to be an exercise in maximizing the number of scoops, scallops, fins, cutouts, and various other doodads. Now, I'm sure there are folks that will love it, but given how strong a reaction the front end styling of the GTF seems to generate, I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense for FFR to offer it in a "less is more" and a "more is more" flavor, and make everyone happy!

    CraigS,

    Funny. I ran up on that same video just last night while poking around looking at SEMA videos.

    It is pulling out all the aero stops, which does make it very busy in front. But, if you think of the target market, supercar wants with regular guy money, it would likely shoot right down the middle of the demographics.

    I like the idea of maybe a street nose and a track / crazy nose. Like the Gen 3 Coupe.

    Has Dave been working out or what?
