That whole "stealth factor" is just an excuse people who bought ugly cars use to try and justify the purchase.
I doubt anyone in their right mind would purposely want a boring looking shed with loads of performance over something that looks great and is as quick, but then is Mycroft in his right mind???

he doesn't want to meet anyone.
he claims to have been at the same venue as people after the event but claims to like to remain anonymous so he can spy on people.
more bizarre behaviour from the paranoid anti-establishment arena that is mycroftworld!
yet he still expects us to believe all his pap, well actually I don't think he expects us to anymore but he likes to keep peddling it so he can be the centre of attention.
there there iainsy wiainsy

Ill never grow up, apparently growing up involves things like responsibility, accountability, and many other abilities, so not for me really, which means ill never be a better judge of it, never mind
Edit: and I am old enough to drive, almost too old to drive, I have a very expensive to run 3rd gen RX7 Type-R, which has a nice blend of looks, and a good bit of performance....on the odd occassion it actually runs properly

Thats so true, I knew I should have bought a soarer instead, all RX7's are cut and shut, terrible really, against glancing comebacks like that, im defenseless.
and there you go again, using the word "coupe" when refering to the soarer, lets face it, it fails in that catagory (along with many others), it looks rediculous, like they got half way through making a real coupe, and decided they wanted to seat 7, so stretched the poor thing.

Originally the 80's 929 chassis I think... cut down and tarted up... load of old aRXe for a lot of money...
The chassis and monocoque are rather basic and flexy... add the high CoG on the front.. due to the Wa nkel engine that adds up to cars that can easily flip...

You have an incredible talent for making up nonsense about cars that could actually sound plausable to the uninformed, you dont work for Autocar do you?
It actually handles very well, and has only flipped 18 times since ive had it, which I look at as giving the car character.

All rotary engines are mounted so there mass is high up in the monocoque, to think different just shows you are a fool... the chassis is a cut and shut job on a failed Saloon... that is a matter of record... to mitigate this mazda made the damned thing a roller-skate of thing... the design and engine are faulted... just every engineers opinion except a few die-hard wan-kelers out there... get real... a joke design custom fitted to a roller-skate...
