the www.mosler.com -link seems to be a security company.?

www.mt900.com/ is the right one!

I think the Mosler's will go well, if you look at their website, you will find that some of the personnel have worked at Chevrolet on the Corvette c5 programm.
Martin Short has picked a good car.

Nice looking motor as well. A bit like the Corvette at the back though. Anyone know if it is street legal in the EU ?

[rollcentre]

There are two road cars so far, with a third being made for the USA crash test. There is also a RHD version underway.

I hope to have a road car over here some time next year!

I am curious as to the modifications that have to be made for GrandAm competition - there is this mandatory GA approved "spec" rear wing. Is this a concern in any way, or is a wing by any other name still a wing?

Also, re Mosler @ Le Mans (maybe some day ), I believe the min. windscreen size rule has been changed for the benefit of the Morgan so, in this aspect, would the Mosler now be ACO-legal?

Cybers, believe that the ACO amended their rules to allow the Morgan, but in doing so they have set a precident. The question would be - Do the ACO want the Mosler?

Re the rear wing - it's bigger ("everything's bigger in the States")....which is handy for a 4 driver race, so they can hang all their ego's off of it easily

It's also raised higher - look at Short-worth's GTO spec wing its only a couple of inches above the deck - so yes it will probably be more effective....which will be nice at 200mph and 30 degree banking

Not in GT I don't imagine! In GTS, maybe.
