Love the side, front and engine comp- the rear end though, just can't put my finger on it but not sure i like that. Love the hp figures though, with the big eng, low weight and rear mid engine design it must haul *** and handle reasonably.

Handle reasonably...... When I first ran into this car a little over a year ago it hung reasonably close. When I hit my brakes I had to move over to the side to keep from being rear ended.

So do you mean it handles ok but the brakes suck or the engine and styling are it's only worthwhile attributes?

Actually we were in some slightly winding hills with some good straights. Handling really couldn't be judged ........ but when coming up on traffic and brakes were applied, well

Haven't been in for a while, but they had one at Symbolic in La Jolla. Pictures don't do it justice.

Chad, I think I know which Spyker you are talking about. I was having my car detailed at Casa Palmero @ Pebble Beach on Friday and the Spyker was being detailed as well.

Then when MetalSolid and I were heading home on the 1 this afternoon, we saw a Spyker parked on some road in the Carmel Highlands area-- I think it was the same one. It was Black, right?

I've seen one show up at the Crystal Cove show, what a piece of art
