How are they going to make a profit selling two $57,000 cars per month? 114k per month sounds like a lot until you factor in parts, labor, rent, insurance, warranty costs....

It’s either a hobby or a financial disaster.

You an't just a kidding. unless he is manufacturing under the original certs, it is my understanding that any production car has to pass emissions. If it passes, you can't make ANY changes to the engine config, once it is tested.

Ok, he is going to try to use another powerplant? I do not think he has the resources, unless my understanding of the regs are completely off.

Perhaps he can make a three wheeled version to fall under the Motorcycle regs, like the "TriHawk"....

I like Deb S's writing, but for the cool factor, there are so many other "retro" cars she could glom onto. The Lotus Super Seven clones for starters......
