Chuck,
I read some of the text. 
I was at Opel when Eric Bitter did the SC. The chassis was developed by the 
Opel Advanced Engineering group and is very good if it was treated well through 
the years. It is an excellent coupe, good seating for four. I drove one here 
in the US later and it is a head turner. The design is much better than the 
Longchamps since it is not a copy of another car and is well executed.

His new car was also designed, body and suspension by Opel designers and 
engineers. It is a GTO platform with a mostly carbon fiber body and is very light 
with the 400 HP Corvette engine. Again, good seating for four adults.

It is not Italian, parts are more available and much less costly.
