  1. What is the overall goal for this car, Billy? You are putting so much money into it that you might never drive it to avoid scratches! Everything is top notch and I enjoy reading every installment.

    1. The car is being built to be driven and to share the rotary platform to a new group of people and to demonstrate that with proper engineering, they can be reliable and extremely high performers. The car will be tracked and taken to many events. This is not going to be a show car or garage queen.

    2. It is done as a well balanced reliable car and this and what we did to our STI are examples of what it takes to do it right.
