Name that car
My friend sent me this picture b/c I am yet to be stumped but right now it looks like I am, so I am going to cheat and ask you all..... I am thinking it is European, b/c of the bumperettes filling out the rest of the eurostyle license plate cut out, and b/c of the reflectors just slapped on there to meet DOT. I am also thinking a V8 b/c it has a tailpipe on the left which means it probably has dual exhaust... I was thinking a panoz, but that is not it... I remember a rare British car being sold via Volvo dealerships w/ a ford v8 in the early 2000s but i could be way off..... Anyone have any ideas...

V8 Vantage...as much as i didn't think it looked like one at first.
 same reflectors. same bulges surrounding exhaust cutouts. same placement for brakelights. same license plate cutout. if you squint or use photoshop you can sorta make out where the diffuser begins to the right of the left exhaust.

RX7 first thing that came to mind. Doesn't look like a vantage at all at first glance.
Also look at the taillights, they have a pear shape to them....vantage doesn't have that. |

V8 vantage. Shape of exhaust and bumpers, also the reflectors next to the reflectors are a V8 vantage thing on the rear bumper for US spec models.

Thanks everyone!.... I hope it is not an AMv8 because I had one when they first came out back in 06, but I think you all are correct.... If the Rx7 had a molded exhaust on the driver side I would agree b/c the taillights were throwing me off too... I will let you all know tomorrow when I talk to him, I feel like an idiot right now...

everything matches up. the glare throws off the ability to see the taillights, but the shape of the exhaust molding, and the placement of the reflectors, etc, all lines up with the pic.
