I took my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt from a former GM employee that worked in GMs quality department. At the time the Fiero was the highest quality car GM had ever made. For those that don't know. Quality in manufacturing is controlling and preventing a deviation from design specification beyond accepted tolerance. Now what does THAT tell you about GM.

So I posted a hotlink picture of a Fiero... a prototype at that, something that GRMers usually like.

Not meant to sidetrack at all... it's only a picture. Post count FTW.

I could care less what you think of GM... it's only a picture. This doesn't concern me.

Maybe you should start a separate thread on your issues w/ GM.

Obligatory hotlink response pic:

Again, not my issue.

In reply to Indy-Guy:

I love the McLaren F1. Capital L-O-V-E kind of love.

That said, the 720S did not and does not need a center seat. The car is in the same category as Huracan's and 488's, not BAC Mono's and Radical's. Ease of entry is a real factor with a car like this. They need to sell lots of them and they need to be usable to accomplish that.

That said, a center-driven hypercar or track car is low hanging fruit for McLaren and they've expressed that it will happen.

D001, probably the only restored 80s D350. I low key wish mine was SRW so I could use those hub caps.

If it's not your issue, why did you post about it? (again post count FTW)

Walk out on the front porch in the morning, see a view and think "that's some Instagram E36 M3" then you go back in and grab your new el cheapo phone and this what you get.

I'm not very good at Instagram, or pictures in general apparently.

I blame the fact that the paint on dad's truck is still shiny.

I followed the development of the F1 for four years thru the writings of several automotive mags when I was in high school. That center driving position (three seater) blew my mind at the time. LOVE IT !
