Bad ass car but what makes it pro touring? No cup holders man. Its a street legal track car.




and a bargain at 50K to build.

Ditto. But there's nothing wrong with a "street legal track car;" just plan for serious neck cramps when trying to put groceries in behind the seats.

They really sucked some of the character out with all the bling work they did to make it more betterer (f-you, spell check!) than it was. Yeah, I'm a grouch, but I loved this car before the monkeys put their hands on it...

I'm curious to see whether they actually used this car at the USCA thing. Nobody's updated with results, but marketing continues...

I believe they did but think it was exhibition due to sub-200TW tires?

Here are some pics my wife took of it on the road course...







I haven't met Richard, but I did meet Aaron at SEMA and talked with him again at USCA Texas. He seems like a genuine car guy.

Never met either one in person but know people that have. Its pretty consistant. Aaron is a great talented guy and RR....not much nice to say

I do to. In fact I'm trying to convince the wife we need gold wheels on her white 5gen Camaro.

Nice pics, Herb--one day, maybe mine will look that nice, but I do look forward to seeing the USCA livery applied to all my dents. If Laguna Seca happens again next year, you'll see some lovely contours under those RideTech stickers (I have Konis anyway, not that I'm attached). Thanks for the post!
