Article from the Post-Gazette I thought a number of you might find interesting/entertaining since the cars and the Chief Operating Officer (lolz) have been topics of discussion on this board before. I know I found it to be rather amusing. [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10235/1081972-96.stm?cmpid=MOSTEMAILEDBOX](http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10235/1081972-96.stm?cmpid=MOSTEMAILEDBOX) ---

Chris Carlise (Habib88) drove this exact car during the PVGP autocrosses. Actually they brought two of them, asking for drivers to test them out. Other than the poorly executed and untuned suspension…they are very nice in person. Too much power for anything that turns…which kind of negates the whole supercar angle. ---

Shags, you might think that…but it was virtually impossible to keep in a straight line even. I think he drove it both days, so 12 runs and I think he only managed NOT spinning once or twice. Chris has a boatload of experience driving all different formats, but this wasn’t going his way, Lol. ---

I had some huge ass review on it on RacePA, but the short n skinny is 500hp wondercars aren’t ment to me driven around in parking lots pushing little orange cones out of the way.

And for those wondering yes this is basically a factory five GTM that you buy built. Motor setup rocks, but the suspension needs worked. A week later a local guy who does endurance races in a GTM drove the same blue car I did and hated it on the street. The doctor in the article is a uber nice guy. I didn’t meet any of the builders, but I will say the two prototypes I saw definitely had a few issues. Edit: Oh yea I should mention I’m not connected to the car in any way. They brought the cars to beaverun during the PVGP weekend and were hoping to show them off a little. Brought them over to the autox and I somehow got shoved in one. ---

Oh yea the orange car has a airbag suspension setup with NO SWAYBARS. A few drove it at autox and said the car was downright scary. Blue car has a coilover setup which works good, but its a little on the soft side. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/local-optometrist-produces-most-affordable-supercar/205246.md?page=2)
