Congrats! I hope you don't have to wait too long. Do they have an estimate on wait time? The car looks incredible with the stats to boot!

Founders version out in 2020. I look to get mine late 2020 or early2021.

I have been crazy about cars my whole life.Since my 1948 Studebaker Starlight coupe that I got when I was 13.

I grew up in the age of muscle cars.Had 1970 chevelle 396(In reality was a 402) in High School.

1974 Opec oil embargo.The price of oil quadruples.The 450hp + muscle cars are dead.Move forward to 1977 and the base Corvette puts out 180HP.

New muscle car renaissance in my opinion started 1992 with Dodge Viper.

Now we have more 450HP+ cars to choose from than every.

I have owned over 60 interesting automobiles in my life.Runs the Gammit.Cars have always been a big part of my life.(Still hate doing body work).

My whole life has been big V 8s.Nothing like exhaust note of an Italian V 8.(Diference in the cam shaft)

Now we have come to a cross roads.They have solved the battery problem.The electric motor is takeing out the internal combustion engine.

I have hands on knowledge of cars going back 70 years that I have worked on.

Like it or not this is a Halo moment in Automotive History.

I thought I need to experience this.

Took a week to get confirmation after sending them money.
Hope I will get this car while I'm still living.

Have been on a lot of car forums over the years with different cars I have owned.

The 370Z Forum is the best for help in making your car handle better and go faster.

With the Tesla coming in the future I have been trying to learn about electric cars.

Tesla forum is different when I ask questions about the motor performance or battery questions.

A lot of Ellon Musk kool aid drinkers.Replys are all fluf and not technical.

Like how they named thier car.
