Also, someone asked if any of us were Japanese. My step-grandmother was born in Tokyo, and is 100% Japanese. If it comes to it, we'll hire her to make us

Just to give you guys an idea about cost, a factory prepped Grand Am Boss 302 Mustang goes for $130K straight from the Ford Racing division. A.M. Performance isn't going to have the luxury of buying many off the shelf parts so they also have to spend lots of money on R&D. Granted they can recoup some of the money by selling parts they develop to us but it takes a long time to get back that investment.

Wow! Thanks again for taking time to let me see the shop and hear your plans this afternoon!
This is a serious shop and we will all be benefitting from AM Performance soon I'm sure. These guys know what they are doing and appear to have the backing to make things happen. I heard the list of parts they intend to develop and it's very exciting. They are co-located with a big machine shop as well. And anyone who doubts these are going to be true Nismo race cars rest assured these are being developed with Nissan support. These will be true Nismo race cars from what I gathered. Just built in California! Anyone living in the Bay Area owes it to themselves to head over the hill to Scotts Valley to see what is happening at AM Performance!

 Laughing aside, I wished they did buy Nismo models so I can buy those sweet Nismo wheels. This is sweet, can't wait to see the finished product! To OP, since you guys will be running on 18"s, I wonder what ride height you guys are going for?...

 Looks great. Coming along nicely. I know its a lot to ask, but is there any way you can post a video when you guys are close to finish. We would all like to see this thing start up for the first time. Maybe even show us around the shop.
