That is the Via Falcon. I LOVE that car. 620 HP, and it's basically a body snapped on top of a roll cage. I'm not sure if you can see it from the pics, but there's a lot of reinforcement (diamond plate) behind the back doors and behind the seats, and the roll bars are visible between the seats. Also cool to see was that the pedals were really small and really close together like you see them in racing vehicles for speed shifting and there wasn't any backing behind the pedals in the foot compartment. Rear placement engine, so I get not having a firewall up there, but whatever wall existed up there was a LONG way behind the pedals because it just looked like a big black hole. I wanted to drive that car more than I wanted to breathe yesterday. LOL.

rear engine sports cars are for for a short drive

just remember that you have all that noise right behind your head. Most of those high horse engines wind high RPMs, and the exhaust is routed up and over the rear suspension, making it even louder in the driver compartment

True. But that much noise means that you don't have to have any uncomfortable discussions with your passenger about things like when they get to drive or emotions or relationships, etc., assuming that you have anyone who wants to ride with you when they figure out how loud it can be. ;)

No amount of engine noise would stop me from riding in a car that can flatten me against the seat!

I'll get myself a chauffeur hat and drive you around town in it. All your friends will think you've finally taken that last little step and lost your mind completely. It'll be a blast.:p

Hint noted. That's a good starting point. I'll still want to drive everything, eventually.


~ponders bribing the monkey to come with sharpies and distraction techniques so I can drive all the toys without anyone noticing that the keys are missing.........

Haha...what makes you think you'd need to bribe me? I'll beat you there, so I have him fully engrossed:D and you can sneak in and have your fun with his toys. He'll never even notice, until he sees that they're all on empty. :p
