We may look at doing a completely new car from scratch at some point down the road. But the time and cost will be huge and we are not ready to go anywhere near that mountain anytime soon. I have a wife and 5 teenagers and want to spend time with the kids before they are off and doing their own thing. Maybe a…

We considered that before the Venom GT program began. But at that point in time, our experience was taking cars and modifying them. So in the case of the current Venom we did not want to start from absolute scratch due to time, budget. We decided to with a proven interior, HVAC system, etc. We built our car around…

We love our Fords and we really love the EcoBoost. We've build hundreds of SHOs, trucks, Lincolns with the V6 twin turbo. 60 wheel hp and 80 wheel torque is affordable and reliable. Yes, we will offer more power for the new 2.7L. And I think that this motor is going into the new Mustang and that will be a natural…

300 mph is a big number. That will take a lot of power and in the case of the Venom GT would require us increasing from 1244 hp to 1500-1600 hp or more. Our car has lots of downforce too and thus the drag that comes with out. Our low drag configuration with the stock front splitter and rear wing retracted is a 0.44.

I had this exact conversation with Jonny Lieberman of Motor Trend a few weeks ago when he was doing a road trip in the new Porsche 991 Turbo S. The car makers are close to maxing out 0-60. It becomes an equation of power to traction ratio. Once you get cars like the 4-door Audi RS7 down into the low 3 second range,…

ahhh, yes loved that car. 1984 Audi Quattro Coupe. I think I modded the exhaust and turned the boost up after about a week... Would love to find another one, but they were rare back in 1990. Might be really hard to find now.

I've driven 7 and 8 second race cars. Venom GT still feels more exciting to me personally. 80% exciting, 20% scary which is enough to thrill me every time I drive one. Never gets old.

The very first car? i was at the lap of my dad and it was a 64 1/2 GTO tripoower with muncie rock crusher. I don't remember it but I am told I had fun at the age of 2. 2nd car was my moms VW bug. I was 3 and she went in the house to get my sisters. When she came out the car was gone. I got it out of gear, took…

Looking forward to it, Matt.

Jim is the best!
