Hi guys my name is Mike. I've been into cars for a while now. I have a BMW 750il and a 1969 Pontiac LeMans, and am looking for an awesome mid engine car to build. i've done a lot of work to my Pontiac, but theres just something about a mid engine car that just seems to trump everything else. The pontiac is a lot of fun, but i want to keep it semi classic so I cant do all the fun stuff I really want to do to it. Plus it corners like a rhino on mountain roads....

To be honest with you, I was looking at the FF GTM before I found this site, but once I did, i started to reconsider. I think both cars whould be amazing to build, and both are awesome on the road.

Just a little background; I'm an engineering student at San Jose State University (however I'm fairly new to the program and dont have a ton of knowledge regaurding the design and engineering of midengine cars) which is exactly why I joined this forum.

Welcome Mike. There is a wealth of technical knowledge on this forum. Ironic you own a Lemans, the race that defined the GT40!

Mike, welcome to the forum. I too was interested in the FF GTM, that is until I discovered the RCR SL-C which I am now assembling. Lots of good info here. Enjoy!

thanks for the welcome everyone

and Jim, that would be amazing. I actually used to work in Santana Row, and I had no idea that this even went on.
