The FXX and ACR are different than the apollo b/c the viper and enzo are nicely and cohesively designed vehicles, love them or hate them, they are well put together (not talking about fit and finish) The gumpert is not well designed....it has no design, it makes no sense. ACR and FXX are good looking cars with a few mechanical and aero mods for the track. Underneath, there is good design, like a really hot girl wearing catchers gear for a softball game. Underneath she is a hottie. The gumpert is like a rosanne bar wearing goalie pads.

But if you were a heart surgeon, and another surgeon botched an operation....and me (who has no training to be in the medical field) started telling you that I know what im talking about.....you would be like WTF....and thats what we feel like: WTF

I think it's you that doesn't get it, or should I say the Gumpert's design that you don't get. It was never meant to be a thing of beauty, that's perfectly clear when you look at it but what the Gumpert does that none of the other do is produce lots of down force, enough in fact that it could drive upside down at speeds in excess of 170mph.

I look at an F1 car and don't go all weak at the knees because of it's beauty, the same thing applies here to.

P.S.
Never did like the FXX and especially not the Viper, it's American vulgarity at it's best, or is that the PT Cruiser. Maybe it me not getting the Viper, maybe you have to be American to except it's excessively wide stance, it's vulgar side pipes, it's twin bulges on the roof. You may well look at the Viper ACR and go all wet but me I'm sorry but I think it looks just as awful as the Gumpert but in a different way.
