Dave,

You might be pretty close with your marketing parameters when it comes to demographics and affinity toward originality or billet. I however would break that pattern. 38 years old and while I certainly stand awestruck at precisely machined pieces out of billet...I have even more appreciation at the sheets of flat aluminum or steel beaten by hand into beautiful forms.

I would love to see you expand your horizons with the company and take the billet chassis as far as it can go... give the mega$$$ exotics something to really fear...

But at the same time a lot of us would love to see more vintage stuff.

When I have driven performance cars of the last decade or two...c5/6 vettes, Mustangs, 350Z, 911's and the NSX, I have found myself almost bored. Yes I was doing 60-70 mph on some pretty tight roads, but the thrill was not really there... almost too easy. New cars are great and they can turn some great track times. But I like that "Oh Sh$%!!!" factor too.

I'm afraid to contemplate what I will think will be cool when I am 50-60!!

~Chuck
