Purpose Built Cars

That is the first question I ask every customer. Followed by expectations.

I'm sure we all have said the same, "if I knew I was going to be doing this with the car, I sure wouldn't have put that in it" or maybe its just me that says that.

I know I've said this before, what makes our little small part of the car hobby so cool is, our cars can do everything, the Swiss Army Knives of cars.

Its strange how our cars can hit the Autox, run a road course lap after lap, and then I can drive it to a drag strip the very next weekend and lay down a 10.94 at 132 mph on KDW's, with nothing more then a tire pressure adjustment. The cool part is they look really sexy doing any one of those things.

I also find it funny that no matter how hard I tried not to have it happen, my drag racing roots come through in everything I build, (forward bite is everything). My limited AutoX, road course knowledge becomes evident everytime I'm in the car. I feel like I have learned more about cars in the last couple years then in the 25 prior. Been a fun ride though.

love that car bud. Different and all business!
