I can answer this. After driving the car for four straight 10 hour days through many varying conditions, it performed phenomenally. Not many supercars will give you that kind of road trip experience. The builds got progressively better as they built more of them. Those of us who got to see car #13, #14, and #15 could easily track the improvements in build quality.

I always felt that the Ultimate Aero didn't get the recognition it deserved. The very, very few tests that were conducted(non-performance) the drivers said it was comfy and very good. But like you said it got overshadowed by the top speed record so most people thought it wasn't comfy or a good handler.
So my question is: Why didn't you have more magazines test the production car to clear up any of the doubts?
And why didn't you let any magazines do performance tests that give us solid data like 1/4 mile, standing mile, and handling?

At this time we do not plan on a factory sponsored race team. But we have made sure that the new design falls within the FIA racing specifications in case we have a customer that wants to privateer a team. We would definitely support any customer efforts in this direction.

I was blown away by Jarods answer "For it to be a credible record it has to be achieved on public (pavement) roads on the street legal tires that the car is sold with. So Bonneville is not an option." WOW!!!! That's My Home Boy

There are varying standards but the two most strict and which other countries adopt are FMVSS (US) and EURO 4 soon to be EURO 5. For instance for the new generation we will end up crashing a minimum of 2 cars.
