Making a low-slung monocoque and added a blown F150 motor does not a supercar make TO ME. Keywords, TO ME. The C6 Vettes are more sophisticated than FGTs and cheaper too.

Ive been up close to one, and even got to ride in one up at LG a few years back for a few minutes. The craftsmanship is not bad by any means, and the body looks just fine, no retarded gaps etc. Maybe the one you saw the rear hatch was popped lol.
