Hum... this is an attempt at a
The last time I saw it, it was at Viking Motorsports getting built like it should have been done when it left the factory. Now then Jeff, you mentioned something about "dirt" The Esprit (for the record) NEVER went in any dirt. It did however, turn, stop & transition faster than any Elise on the track (including my own.)
Also, it lasted 20,000 miles and about 30 hours of track-time use without any issues what-so-ever. It also posted a 10.8 second quarter mile and a top speed of 195mph. During this time it also blasted past a Ferrari Challenge Straddle @ 140mph. on the inside of turn 8 at Willow springs & spanked many other Porsche's, Ferrari's, Lambo's, Vett's ect. Not a bad record for any car Finally, one cast piston did let go. And that was on a hot day running over 20psi. on a track with a lot of long streights
Now that the truth is out, it's time to address that Chevy Luv thing... I can trully picture Jeff driving it
