So Greg, when built as a driver, how will this car fair for "rain" driving? let alone snow, storms, etc....you have a heater, top, .....wipers? leaks? How well does Brizio have things for a "driver" based car sorted out? or are these the compromises you just deal with?

Love it, and what your goin to do with it.....

Greg keeps pretending the car is for his wife. On the drive back home who do you all think will be driving it ? As for drive-ability I think that is what sets Brizio apart from others is they get built to be driven. When Greg's car is done Roy will take it out on a extended test drive. Every year the Brizio gang does at least one extended cross county road trip.

The intakes on these are just so friggin fugly. But I'm not willing to mess with the factory drivability just for the sake of "looks".

This car is gorgeous!

....retains perfect driveability with the side effect of a bit more power......

You must do like she does when she returns from Nordstrom with a truckload of clothes… You show her everything and discuss how much you SAVED by building it all yourself!! Never mention that 50% off of $1,000 is still $500 bucks! Only point out the discount percentage, thus, how much you saved! Then she'll think you're brilliant!
Greg, truth is my wife's awesome about it. In the beginning she told me to spend whatever I needed to build the car but she just didn't want to hear how much, really doesn't get any better than that. I personally just had to make sure it didn't affect our financial well being.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Now back to your car...The thing I really like about your car is it looks so clean, this is how ford would have loved it to come from the factory back in the day if they had the technology. Can't wait to see it at the GNRS!:flashie:

I say surprise her with it at the show. By standers will get a kick out of it too. I know I would if I saw the unveiling.
