That is partially true. Since the goal of the UA was to be a drivers car, Jerod didn't want to incorporate traction control, etc. But low speed turning (parking, etc) was a bit strenuous so we incorporated a power steering system that best maintained the driving feel.

What cars inspire you today?

Who do you root for in F1?
I own the Ultimate Aero that held the world record for almost 3 years and my daily driver is a Denali.

At this time we have a few thoughts but nothing concrete!

What Jerod said about the car before, it will retain the manual transmission, but a paddle shift version will be optional.
Manual is better if you are driving for fun, paddle is better if you are racing for time.

There is a rumor that you originally built Lamborghini kit cars before starting SSC. Is that true?

We are a bit old school as well on that topic. Since are main design focus is on the drivers experience, we are still offering our manual transmission as standard on the new project as well as a paddle shift option for those that so choose.

And I personally rode in this particular Denali too. It's a nice ride.

This must be the most challenging aspect of building cars these days. Was the first generation Ultimate Aero fully compliant with all U.S. FMVSS?
