Usually it's just being able to hit a target price point based on the cost/MOQ that the factory provided. In order to retain your rights to the mold and/or cost, you have to buy a certain volume in a given timeframe.

It happens a lot with wheels that are branded as one type of wheel but made by someone else. You have to make back your initial mold fee, usually over $10-15k if cast.

Would love to see this made out of carbon fiber. That would be pretty cool.

A baseline size and length that works well with the stock redline on this engine would be nice.

Very likely because it's a race car.

Interesting Greddy say they use AE111 Throttle bodies so its just a matter of Purchasing a Velocity stacks that bolt up, and tuning with ECUTek Speed density im assuming.
