If i had the money i would buy one from you.
The 125,000 for the build is not that bad for a one of build like that, but for me to import it and register it Norway I'd have to atleast double it.

Guess I have to live out my dreams through you.

my hat is off to you, you are one hell of a fabricator

since you did this from the ground up could I ask you how you came about that particular design, i.e. were you going for a particular design that was either a favorite of yours or one that was very competative, or were you following a purely utilitarian design. I guess I am really asking how you decided upon the geometry of that frame?


once again congratulations on one hell of a nice job

This thing is awesome. I'm really digging the final body style. I wasn't a big fan of the concept body. Glad to see it's all together and running after all this time. Major props!

lol, you have to have a windsheild to make it street legal. I think it would be pretty funny to be driving around with no windshield or body. Just an engine and 4 tires rolling along

thats a bit of a b!tch! you can do it here no problems! just stick a helemt on and have a little wind difflector and your away!

how much power is this think making???

to compeat with an atom its needs to be making........around 600bhp asuming its weighing in at 2000lbs and then you got to beat the atom on the break and around the corners!!

Thanks guys....

I dont know about the atom. I am starting to learn that on road courses horsepower is not as important as skill and grip in the corners. Braking is also more important then i realized

I do plan on upping the horsepower this winter. I think i am going to go for somthing in the 550 range. We will see what i end up with. I am hooked now. I cant stop looking for other events. I found a few at gingerman and gratten i think i am going to go to.

The engine is stock internal ls6 for now so only makeing a little more then stock because of the intake and exhaust.

Great job man. It's gotta feel great to just go out and enjoy it after the thousands of hard working hrs in it!

Did you shorten the tq tube yourself? If so you are one of like 3 people known to do that. I know this because I was looking to have it done.

one question, how is it to place in the corners??? it looks like the engine is straight in the line of sight of the front tires!

you could go for a supercharger to make more power!!
