Do you think Mazda could do well in the supercar cat with the Furai?

Do you think Mazda could do well in the supercar cat with the Furai?
if mazda made the Furai a production supercar in competition with the R8, the Ford GT, Koeniggsegg CCX, Porsche Carrera GT, and Saleen S7?
then maybe I could drive one in my life...
I mean with supercars they have an ordering program for anyone that wants to buy them, so its not like they would have as much to risk if say they made a consumer level Production car..

The problem is that the Furai is an actual race car -- the Elise would seem extremely luxurious in comparison.
The number of people who would be willing to pay ~$100k for a car that raw are few and far between. If they could sell a few dozen a year, it would be surprising.

It would be interesting but as previously said they'd only sell a few dozen a year (if that). Although race teams would most likely buy them up since they love Mazda's already.

I love the whole concept. The engine in that car is excellent, but I think mazda might have a hard time convincing people to purchase a full blown race car for $100k rather than a GT-R or the ZR-1. JMO!
P.S. I would buy one if I ever got the money

if i had that kind of money to spend on a supercar i'd definitely go for it especially if they kept the production numbers low. having a car that mean sounding, different looking, and a wankel to boot - i wouldn't be able to sign my name fast enough.
of course i don't have that kind of disposable income but a guy can dream.
