They should let Turn 10 borrow it. I want to drive it in Forza since I'm sure I won't be able to afford one.

They got positive press on Jalopnik, as well: http://jalopnik.com/5874379/falcon-f7-if-ferrari-made-love-to-the-detroit-auto-show
Ferrari may not be unveiling anything at the Detroit Auto Show again this year, but there is this Falcon F7, a sorta "Best Of Ferrari Design" — 288 GTO, 355, F50, F40 — that houses various LS motors in a race-proven aluminum monocoque chassis. Is this Michigan's exotic supercar?
Look at the side-profile of the car and you see a classic Ferrari profile, particularly with the targa top off. That's backed up by the ‘80s Ferrari body gap line that splits the side in two, horizontally. Then there's the flying buttresses, the F50 hood scoops and the F40 mesh rear panel that exposes the engine and exhaust. The flat rear deck? A 360 Spyder-like glass panel exposes the valve covers.
But unlike most Ferrari's, that engine isn't a high-strung, fire-prone exercise in Italian engineering, it's a good ol' LS3 or, if you have deeper pockets, a 640 HP LS9. Small block goodness actually aids power-to-weight. At 2,850 Lbs, the F7 is a little over 100 Lbs lighter than a 355, a Ferrari I chose at random from the design cues creatively copied on the Falcon's body.

Falcon F7
To clarify the post above, the Falcon F7 comes with a 620 HP LS7 based motor. Custom dual plenum carbon fiber intake also adds gobs or torque. Car weighs less than 2850 lbs and is an absolute blast to drive. Model pictured here is Detroits own Beth Stalker (www.bethstalker.net). The cars are now in production and slowly rolling off the line in Holly, MI.

Lol. Contrary to the above statement, screwing the car is not the better option.
LOL that was good.
Did you take it to the Kart 2 Kart show, Jeff?

Awesome car, one of the best designed supercars IMO.....
LOL at those people is the video, " how many cylinders is it?" "I thought it had 12"
