Tony raises some good points. If you are dead set on a new car then by all means go for it. As you know there is certainly some sorting out on all these cars (not just Kirkhams) and getting one that is beyond that may be a good option. David and his team were extremely helpful in getting mine dialed in after I had driven it a bit. They also did a great job on the engine and transmission install (installed their custom engine mounts, aligned everything, installed their remote
oil filter assembly, measured runout on bell housing and made the necessary adjustments, clutch fork setup, brakes and clutch bled, cooling system air removed, transmission install and break-in (the Tremec is not fun out of the box.....).
