When I think of a "Super Car" I picture something like:

I think Lego should try to make a more detailed/complex car.

The new super car look incomplete, and so did the old super car.

I'd put a vote in for the 8868 turntable jucntion as the most complex Lego
model section I've run into.  Even the second or third time around I need
to fix mistakes in it's construction.

Like you I will get one when they are available, if only to be chassis
complete.

Someone else mentioned the wheels look like those on the tow truck.  I
think they're closer to the Turbo Command car.
