Brent,

We are bantering around $99,995 and $125,000 right now. I know that seems like a big spread, but we do not have all the numbers down and the dollar keeps sinking against the Zloty (Polish Currency). Also, one thing people never seem to realize is it is possible to lose money at both price points if there is not enough demand for the car at the particular price point. The tooling costs for the car are tremendous. It is an enormous gamble to launch a car like this.

Preliminary thoughts:

Car will only be offered as a high-end kit, fully assembled.
no engine
no transmission
Coupe specific engine parts will be in the package...exhaust, throttle linkage, cold air box, etc.
aluminum differential included
no paint will be offered
body filed, brushed, or polished
3 inch original chassis and leaf spring (Original 3 inch chassis and suspension will be an up-charge)
4 inch billet Hybrid coil sprung chassis.

CNGreen,

I too have heard 351's are a tight squeeze. We are still researching that one.

Bert,

Yes, the 4 inch rails would change things, but I think we can work around that. Considering our billet suspension is over 100 pounds lighter than the original suspension, we will most probably sell quite a few more Hybrids than original chassis type cars. That is the direction most of our customers want to go anyway. We have had SEVERAL customers want to jump into line and all (so far) have wanted the Hybrid chassis. I am sure there will be other original type customers along the way as well.

Al,

I am glad to hear you are happy with our customer relations! Just last week I walked over to Joe's desk and dropped a 6 inch pile of papers on his desk. I told him, "This is your problem now; deal with it!" I had to finally step away from sales--I was doing a terrible job! I had to free up time for new and exciting projects!

FUNFER2,

Thanks for the kind words! We are looking to see what motors will fit. I will let you all know ASAP!

David
