Seems like EVERYONE is jumping into the supercar club. Though for
Lexus, their design is... less just say "less striking" than Ford's GT
or GR-1, Chevy's Z06, or Dodge's Viper.

And some thought Ford's new 2-seat Shelby Cobra concept was bad.

Whoa. Looks like you could pick the a.s-end up like a bowling ball
with that funky exhaust. And what's with the fan under the tail
light?

"Hell, I dunno WHAT those guys were drinking..."

Personally I think someone on that team has a woodie over the 350Z
