Can't be electric if it needs to meet Tom's earlier criteria.
Then again, maybe Tesla needs a competitor?
Then again, here in car rich So Cal you don't see Teslas (at all). |

Wow, that just makes me want to go out and buy a 1/2 dozen!
I just don't see the hybrid/electric DNA running through the Kirkham veins...it would change my view on what they are all about. |

A brand new Hemi Dart? Thunderbolt? Copo Camaro?
One of these 10sec musclecars?

That was going to be my guess. I should have noticed this thread earlier...
Hmm, that looks like it would need to be mid-engined. Perhaps using some pieces from the recent Ford GT and an all new Kirkham billet chassis?
