Pat nailed it. If you're close enough and have the time, visit the factory. I bought the first Razor, sight unseen (meh.... I saw some concept body work, but it wasn't production). That car put more smiles on my face than ALL the cars and rock crawlers put together. His engineering and build quality is second to NONE!!!! The Apex had some major frame changes last year, and I know Fran wants to put out an amazing car that first time builders can build in a reasonable amount of time.
This car is definitely a car that will compete in the likes of the FFR GTM since the SLC compares from a 458 to an Enzo (first two cars that came up). Except it will be better in many ways than the GTM (if not all?).
Another point: We saw the Camaro for years before that finally came out. And THAT car is from a multi-billion dollar giant. If Fran rushes the Apex, it'll lead to build times like the GTM (2000+ hours) or generic construction like the 818.
Don't fret. The Apex is coming. Grab a beer, sit back, and save a few more pennies that day to put into the Apex for a bigger turbo, nicer interior, oem quality paint job, etc.
