The problem is, almost everytime an enthusiast (car guy?) builds a car he winds up bankrupt. Now, Bob Lutz is a car guy and on his watch we did get the Viper (and we'll let the Prowler slide.... (IMG:

And there are just not enough car guys to keep themselves in business, or so it seems. As someone said earlier, we want "bling-free" road missiles that have enough grip to remove the paint stripes from the road in a corner even if it knocks out a few teeth in the process.
I'd buy one....
