I like it. Maybe shows what would have come out of the factory after the 5th remake for production. Hand laid carbon fiber is very expensive, that has to be a large part of the build. The first one requires molds and endless reworks to become a finished product.

It is overpriced and I would not buy it, I wish. Maybe this was the test case to make a production run cheaper, lots cheaper, in the future. Kindig did that with his version of the Vette. Factory Vettes are at C8 now, look how they have changed. Each has its fans and haters.

Nah, if the 914 had stayed in production for 5 generations it would now be 1.5X larger and 2X heavier.
