AWESOME! I'm so anxious, been to so many dealers and no one has a white one with manual. Test drove a few though, yes they're slow, but i expected it. Plenty of potential and they handle like a porsche

Can't wait to see the s/c'er kit. Centrifugal or roots? And what are you tuning on?
Not exactly sure on the specs yet they are going to break it down and see what can be done! Thanks for the correction I will make sure to note that.

Ahahah we always do this! Hey someones gotta be the guinea pig =P Im enjoying the car as much as I can right now but we got a lot of work to do to get some parts out!

And hopefully no blown motor, were gonna run a toned down street version first and build a race version later once we do testing on the street.

Keep us posted with that supercharger development. If it works out well, would they consider producing kits for more customers? I have a feeling the HKS kit is gonna be $$$$$


Yes sir this is the R&D vehicle. Once all the kinks are worked out this kit will be mass produced.

I heard the same about the HKS kit! Hopefully they take it a little easier on the pricing.

Im really surprised how good it handles! Been pushing it more and more now and its a mini beast! Cant wait to drop it. If you are in the socal area try giving George a call his number is in the first post. He just got a white one as of yesterday, not sure if it was mt or at.

Just an updated shot with the ZE40 installed.

Running a 18x10 +40 all the way around with 245/40/18. Slight camber in front. No rubbing on stock body!
