Again...WOW! And that top...I've never even heard of a sunroof in one of these. Now I was under the impression (assumption ?) that this is some kind of corporate or sponsor R&D car because of all the work and your mention of an "unveiling." May I ask if this is your own personal car, Robert?

Unveiling is somene else's word. The America GS 3.8 Hardtop Roadster was indeed originally built for me and now is being used by Cartridge as a testbed for a multiplicity of technology, some of which is already finding its way into OE production. Cartridge is not, however, focused upon retail sales and while it does supply certain racing organizations in the U.S. and aboard as a courtesy, it principal activity is very high end products for vehicle manufacturers.

As this a Porsche forum, attached, e.g., are pictures of the induction system that Cartridge supplies to Porsche AG for the GT3 RSR.

you sure you are not competing with NASA for R&D funds????

Im very impressed. Just curious, beyond beauty and engineering elegence, are any of these parts worth producing and the rennlist group using? (pls excuse me if im asking a stupid question).

Funny you should mention NASA....!

Some of the parts are worth using not because you need them but because (and I do not mean to be pompous) you like excellence.

Looks like the embryonic creature from the original "Alien" movie.

Robert, I "tip" my hat to you on this awesome project. I can't wait to see the final product. What a beaut.
