Fiero Northstar was Re: X 1/9

That'll be fun. Too bad, at least in my eyes, it looks like a bad kit car
copy of a GT40. More than likely much better aero (40+ years of research and
tech can do that sort of thing), but to me it still looks bad. And I agree
with Taka, it's a shame they're cancelling the Type 65 coupe. THAT looks
close enough to make me happy (it's probably just as poor in aero, too,
although the Kamm tail and long closed roof made them significantly faster
on the Mulsanne than the 427 Cobra's that ran there).
