I have never met him in person but i like his shows and cars. He seems like a nice guy.

Yeah, what a tool... He's designed some of the most beautiful modern cars out there. I'd risk being labeled a tool if I could include Pininfarrina and Bertone on my Resume. Lots of late model Ferrari's are his. That's pretty impressive.
Have you seen the P4/5 and the Birdcage concept? How awesome looking are they? While I have to admit I'm not really into the styling of this car as much as his others, the rebody did shave 200 lbs and reduce the drag numbers by something (I don't want to watch the video again) pretty substantial. That's always good...

Am I the only one that's glad he took a perfectly good ZR1 and tore it apart here? I'm glad he did it, if for no other reason to have people complain that he ruined a perfectly good ZR1. Its not like the ZR1 is limited production. They'll make as many as people buy anyway. If he wanted another its a drop in the bucket. Like i said in my other post he already owns a stock ZR1 anyways!
***I just got a chance to actually watch and listen to the video. Before, I only briefly could look at the style of the car . At first i thought Jay Leno might have owned this car and now i realize he was just talking about it. Either way I still don't care that someone chopped up a perfectly good ZR1. Its still different.***

I dont hold any thing special for the ZR1 .. only object to what he turned it into. If he had beat it into an ENZO ... well then!!
Cool car.

It is a little to much for me but when you already own ZR1 #00001 then why not do some crazy and different with one. He already said he was leave #1 stock and I don't think he has to worry so much about cutting one apart. I think the exterior was creative but the interior could have been designed a little nicer.
