Don't forget Ginetta! :D BT

I have a picture or two from when it was being built while I was visiting the shop in April. But Fran asked me not to post them previously so I'll just sit tight. BT

See this earlier post.... BT

I saw the car in its early stages in April. I am sure you guys will be blown away! BT

To support the comment from Fran that he cares, I can add my novella. The Cliff's notes version goes like this: I ordered a SL-R kit very early (March). I visited the shop in mid April and saw the frame done and they dropped the motor in while I was there to show me the fit. (I saw the SEMA...

Did that party happen to be at Tom Davis' house? He used to race Ferrari GTo and GTU with Warren Mosler as a driving team mate. They were both friends with my dad when he lived here in FL. I have a friend who used to be an engineer at Mosler, interesting guy with lots of technical info. BT

0-60 under 3 seconds is a difficult task for any car to do, and even more so for a streetable car with 2WD. The SLC has plenty of power and light weight for that kind of acceleration, but just not enough traction. This is the same problem with the SLC. A light car with very wide tires has a...

As a different point of view, I could be looked at as a person that this 'speed freak' is referring to (someone who ordered a car eaarly in the process). Note that I have not had any contact with "Speedfreak" and generally disagree with his approach and commentary. The Cliff's notes version...

I think Fran saw through the smoke when he responded "enjoy your Ultima / Mongoose". :) BT

Fran, any hope of me getting the shipper's phone number? The car was supposed to be delivered today, and no call or delivery from the driver. Other shippers I have used call several times and always at least a day before they are going to deliver a car. My brother (who is trying to receive...

Thanks for the heads up. My SL-R (the yellow one) is supposed to be delivered here Saturday. :) BT

It takes pretty much any inline 4 (or maybe a rotor) front wheel drive platform. I have the Honda K20Z3 from an 06 Civic Si. It is 200 hp NA factory stock, so with an improved intake, exhaust, and header I should be around the 220 mark similar to the non-supercharged Ariel product. The...

Is that the top right one? If so, I agree! BT

The gas cars have the same bodywork. Available in 6 different gelcoat colors. I have all yellow panels with black seats and the standard dark gray powdercoat frame (non-electric). It left the shop on a truck on last Friday so it should be here in Florida any moment! :D BT

Can't wait to see the video Fran! Also, glad to hear that my car is on a truck on its way to Florida (as of last Friday). I'm a little nervous as to my mechanical skills required to finish the car, but I'm looking forward to the project. Thanks for the update! BT
