    Chrome version easier to see than black version? Debatable...esp. looking back at it nose-on.

    In addition to the coupe version, they should unveil a "wide tire" version. You know, a version with wider front tires set wider apart. :ihih:

    Obviously Dave.0 has Beiber Fever.

    Don't let him fool you with the Pink Floyd and Led Zep references. He really zips about singing Beiber tunes at the top of his lungs.

    Back on topic....

    Not a fan of that Chrome livery on the Delta Wing.

    Yeah, when Panoz was trying to decide on a livery someone should have told him about that repulsive disaster...and his chrome Fisker.

    Apparently it's just a mockup but...not so pretty.

    Not a good start for the new engine.

    They only ran a few laps and then pulled it behind the wall for something like an hour, then on their 10th (I think) lap...

    Keep consistency in the program he said.... The whole Delta Wing program has been more fluid than water from the beginning... Only the government could waste more time and money than this bunch... LMAO everytime they make a press release...

    Why doesn't Don get back to building a better Panoz?:rolleyes:

    Hmmmm. This thing is bizarre. Even the open cockpit version. It's actually kind of cool seeing it run around the track on its own. I guess I feel like the bodywork is just too different from any prototype I've seen for me to want to see it racing (I did see some of LM last year, but didn't see much, if any, of the DW. But maybe it would look cool at an auto show, as just a concept car.

    My favorite aspect is the paint job. Yes, I like weird colors like chrome or, say matte black.

    My least favorite is the fin in the back. Make it have a normal prototypesque spoiler and you've already made the car look much less bizarre.
