Ghostrider, 35 years ago I actually owned an X-19 and in that same, hideous, pea green colour! Brings back memories - of air locks in the cooling system, blown head gaskets and rust! As to the proposed 'Ferrari Killer' - little doubt it will be capable of that in terms of performance, but lets face it, many of those who buy Ferraris really aren't interested in the numbers. In addition, does anyone else find the styling a little less than inspired? To me, the rear profile looks like they attempted to graft on the rear of a 911 to a different body form just so that people would recognize that it was a Porsche.
