Proud moment: client's website launched this week

I've known Neal for years, the guy who started this crazy project in his garage. He's a Mustang guy from way back, with some classics and more than a few foxes in the past. He's also super nice.

Earlier this year, the right people connected with him and helped to make his dream a reality, building a company around his idea of a badass American supercar.

He used to work at Motorsport Ranch and every once in a while, some friend from the track would throw him the keys to their spec Miata for him to play with. He'd look at that tiny little car, and consider the fact that he's damn near 6'5" and hand the keys back. That was the start of doing something absolutely bonkers, and since he's starting from scratch, it might as well have a twin turbo Coyote motor, right?

Anyway, thought you guys would enjoy seeing this crazy ass car. I'll try and post pics from SEMA next week.

He is a fox guy. I am going with 87-93 fox interior


Pretty nice car. Cool website too.

Cool looking! Is it a kit car?

X2. What is it? We should start a Facebook campaign to get it on Top Gear.

Not a kit car, it's a low volume production car. Some production pieces from other cars exist like the windshield, but the chassis, body, all of that is custom built.

No interior pics because they just got the prototype together this week. Every photo on the site is a rendering if you can believe that. There are some teaser videos in the blog section that show brief glimpses of the interior. The center stack is one big removable tablet similar to a tesla, crazy tech in the suspension, the rear wing articulates with each side independent of the other so not only will it raise with speed, but pitch according to what direction you're turning.

It's pretty rad. He's been doing videos for years, so you can see the process of making it starting with foam board and wood and building it from there.

Good idea. Need to get it on the UK version. I can see Clarkson bitching about every little detail until he puts the hammer down and yells "power!", lol.

Nice work Blake, congrats!

[talisman]

Congrats man.

[diablo rojo]

That's pretty awesome. What are the basic dimensions? Is it Miata, Viper, or in between?

[Chas_svo]

Neat car.

You should tell Fatheree to fix the "drag strip racing". I lol'ed.

I always thought it would be cool to start something like this, I'm just millions shy of enough money.

Good luck!

I want a Clarkson autograph if you do!

More the size of a Viper, but it's definitely a small car. It's just been designed to fit someone over 6ft.

Dang it, good catch. Thanks for that.

Hah, me too.

Kind of looks like the new Z4 hardtop and a little viper mixed in. I like it!
