I began this project in April 2006 when I purchased this car. The car was a 2004 Berlina Black and only had 8000 miles on it. The car was completely stock and was an unpainted canvas. Now the car is complete and has been upgraded visually / aerodynamically and mechanically. My main focus on this car is to build a street car that could be competitive on the track but also keep its functionality for street / spirited driving use. I even went the distance and had a pro driver, Matthew Andrews, shake down the car to find out the optimal alignment and dampening setup. Basically I wanted to build a car the way Shelby would build a Mustang or AMG to Mercedes. That is why I stuck with one brand instead of mixing and matching manufacturers. I hope this car is appealing to a variety of people of all different age groups and thanks for reading.Special Thanks to: Opak Racing, Spoon Sports Japan, Car Fashion, PROMAX, L-Con Race Cars, Raceline USA, West End Alginment
