If you get a chance at a show and shine, have a close look at one, the details and construction are interesting. Half race car and half street car, and stuff like silver foil and foam heat shielding, machined aluminum door hinges, CF muffler, etc...
Even the SC one isn't that impressive in a straight line, but they do have near go kart handling which you can't really get in many(any?) other street cars.
