Even if it were a production car, I doubt anyone on this board could afford one. I'm willing to bet with all the R&D they put into that car it'd be at least as expensive as the '00 Cobra R. A lot of the parts were aftermarket too, weren't they? The engine was a 5.0L modular utilizing something called "spray bore technology". The front wheels were moved a few inches forward to produce a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The front suspension was (if I remember correctly) an SLA setup with modified Lincoln rear upper control arms in conjunction with the regular front lower control arms. The wheels were specific to the car but I'm sure they'll be offered by FRPP. The dual throttle body intake system will probably never see a street car because it needed a special computer and getting everything to work in sync was a big hassle. Basically, it was a luxury version of the Cobra R. Big @ss JBL sound system, big power, good suspension, etc.
