SPF typ produces around 150 cars a year and now can ramp up to 325 cars turn-key. No need for rollers.
I'm sure the other manufacturers are going to sell more as well.

I think you will find the market for the "turn-key" EPA certified cars to be well less an 325. Most want some sort of "old tech" V8 with a carb atop the manifold. The certifed "Coyote" car market will be there, but not at that level. The advantage to the certified cars will ease of registration and more available financing options (walk into a bank and ask for a loan for a "roller" on a chassis that does not have a WMI VIN and watch the banker's face!) as well the ability for a dealer to possibly "floor plan" the car for inventory.

It will be a new market, but not a gold rush as some have predicted.
