Dang nice car, and certainly looks like a lot of fun!
Love the mid engine design.
And where would you get it serviced? And the cost to service?

For that kind of cash, I'd go with a:

Chevrolet Z06:
Power comes from the now familiar LS7 7.0L V8. Delivering a peak output of 505hp (377kW) at 6,300rpm and 470lb-ft (640Nm) at 4,800rpm, the potent engine in the Z06’s 1,440kg body sees the car sprint from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds, pass the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds at 125mph and reach a top speed of 198mph...

Cost: In the $75-80k range.
About 20k+ cheaper, and faster.


If I wanted the limited production status, I'd opt for the:
Chevrolet Corvette, ZR1.
$110-112k range is slightly higher than the G60, but a hell of a lot faster!
Can be serviced just about anywhere (within reason of course).
