New "supercar" built in Michigan?

I saw a piece on our local station about these guys tonight. It's certainly unique but is it something many will want?

theTHROTTLE: High Quality Photos of Michigan based Mach7 supercar called the Falcon : theTHROTTLE

Looks hot - but who buys these?

Corvette with a bad body kit.

Not crazy about it. See a lot of conflicting styles crammed into one car. Italian ass, Ricer nose, Detroit profile.

It's a bit of a mess.

It looks about 20 feet long??

That's about what I thought when I saw on tv tonight. I think it's cool that there are folks out there willing to build cars that are unique but again, where's the market?

That's a Camaro right?

I think this looks better, but who knows what drives better. They both share an awkward side window/windshield profile.

What have they won with it?

Will they pay name royalties to Ford?

Not a body kit, the engine in in the middle/rear.

I like all the views except the most important one, the front 3/4 view.

For 1/4 the money, you can get into this Michigan product:

Engine selection is left to your imagination. We can certainly recommend & assist in supplying a Chev LS series engine. How about an LS7? 427ci, 500HP+, dry sump, a race engine for the street. Or if you want some japanese technology, how about a twin turbo charged Lexus V8.
Gearbox selection is also left to your imagination. Popular choices are the Porsche G50 gearboxes and due to generous engine bay you can even fit the physically larger & stronger Ricardo(Ford GT) gearboxes. We can also assist in sourcing appropriate gearboxes.
Body quality that is industry leading. The photographed black vehicle has gelcoat body panels that feature high gloss finish and perfect gapping straight out of the mould.

I like the Mosler MT900 a little bit more than the FFR GTM, but they are both pretty cool.

They have a lot of nice kit cars over in the UK, that is a nice one.

I like the open top cars.

I love Detroit. Even though I'm an Ann Arbor boy, I consider it my home town.

The car pictured looks like a good starting point for a finished design. But thats never going to happen. Because no one gives a rats ass. If a Russian wants something exotic, it isn't going to be anything made in Detroit.

all the cars in this thread are ugly, except the Ultima (IMO)

Sorry do not like it - although picture #20 in the link you posted did not look to bad ;)

It looks like a slightly different take on the Factory Five Racing GTM. I think there are other "car companies" which are using FFR GTM kits to build and sell "exotic" cars.

Speedy:)

I never cared for the Ultima. Those squareish headlight areas just seem to spoil an otherwise mediocre design.

I like it! I guess it's that kid in me that likes the absolute outraegeousness. It reminds me of the zonda in it's over the top stylings. The rear grill is especially Zonda-ish. I think the rear is fantastic, shots 26 28 and 30 are my favorite very 348/355ish

The ultima looks kind of strange, the fenders and too tall and the windshield looks like a big bubble just looks a little goofy.

An American supercar with Italian stylings. Good luck to them I hope they do well
