Sorry guys.... I've been extremely busy with my 17 month old son and running our family businesses. The car is progressing. I actually have pictures of the assembled engine, however, I have been asked to hold off on posting them until the project is complete. We are in the process of selecting custom wheels right now. I'll get back with an update soon.

Have you considered ATS? Their DTM 18" rims only weight 9lbs!

so yes..... how is this car? is it even going to be done? where are the almost 700 horsies? the brakes?

i just saw pics that were around more than 2 years ago. looks like evosport is using some invisible paint because no one has seen this car. but they probably had to repaint it due to all the abuse the car has been through.

let's get some odds on whether or not this car will be finished by evosport.

i think we'll all have more faith in this car if there are at least some more recent pics from evosport. sleestack already said he knew what he was getting into. he wanted to see evosport grow with his car. so does this mean that evosport hasn't made any progress?

PICS please.

Does your mother know what a HATER you have turned out to be? I cant figure out why some people hate on other people? Maybe its the difference in location but what you just did was the lamest thing a man can do. You are a hater, get rode on...

how was i lame? i'm just asking questions to find out the truth. i did not lie nor do i hate anyone. sleestack seems like a good guy and i have said in the past i'd like to see his car perform like the monster that has been claimed it can be. but if it can't, that's ok, as long as someone owns up to it and why. why is this necessary? so that others can learn from his experience. however, i think many people have already learned about things from this saga. and i say saga because it has been a looooong time.

i'm done.

Sleestack's motor is coming together. Like he said, he wants to keep pixs of the internet at this time. Yes, it took longer than expected, but there were reasons for it.

I am still working for evosport. Products that I design will be under FEDOR DEZYN, this is the reason for name change in my avatar.
