Arg! Im such an idiot. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. The front suspension even still appears to be compressed.

Even my dog looked at that photo, woofed, and cocked his head. Nobody was "fooled" by the photo (at least no car person was...)

Yeah the suspension is a dead giveaway both front and rear. No to mention how level the front end is during launch. I'd expect some twist at least.
