A lot of people are concerned about the weight savings... where could you pull weight off the S197 chassis to drop the required 200+ lbs? They are forgetting that the S550 is an entirely new chassis developed for this car. There's over a decade's gap of technology between the two platforms. The only thing in common with the S197 is the wheel base. Everything else is brand new.

My bad, I was talking about 3200 for the GT some were touting. Still don't see how they can make that without going with a lot more expensive materials or a much smaller frame. I guess time will tell.
