So did anyone see it?

It just shows the blue track Z driving around.
So far, I've heard positive comments about steering, power, and handling.

We'll have to wait for them to post performance stats.

The show left me wanting a more technical evaluation and a better view of the track, which is awesome in person!

The only specific info they gave about it was that it has 287 HP (don't recall a torque figure), the rest was just saying how great it is

They did mention the torque. Same as what we have all heard before.

They kept changing the picture frequently and I felt I never really got a good look at the car.

287 is what the last 3 or 4 sources have said. That's what it is. You'll have to live with it. It ain't gonna change. What MIGHT change is the 0-60 and quarter mile times when the various mags. put out their test results.

The final torque specs are higher than originally indicated which makes me wonder about the 287 hp. I guess we will just have to wait for someone to get it on a dyno. I think it might make a little over 287hp, but thats just me.

They quoted the same figures we saw a few weeks ago. 287 hp 274 lb. ft. of torque. They didn't say a word about weight or acceleration.

In essence, it was an introduction report and they said to stay tuned for a future report.
