Saw this new car in person the last few days at SEMA and spent some time with Factory Five owner Dave Smith. Nicely done by a nice guy.

Could someone PLEASE explain. to my wife, why I just have to have one of these?  Rear tires also need to be 4" wider.  Also, did you notice the suicide doors on the Camaro?  With all of the difficulty in making your own headers, I would think that 1.5" dia. tubing would be ample for our type of engineering.  Also, I didn't like that the header flange was not separated into a 2 piece 3 port which would allow for the difference in expansion rate of aluminum to stainless.

It seems like they get it, someone building a new v12 car.  I love it and that engine sounds nuts

It isn't enough to want a Lambo, you have to want to BUILD A CAR.
