Have always admired the cobra/mustang kit you guys pulled off. THis should have much more mass appeal.

Yeah, I get to build it myself, that's one of the reasons I want it.

I went to the factory five website and they don't mention it anywhere, for sale, in development....Nowhere. I don't want some beta test, "here, you customers pay for our cars and do our R&D and debugging for us" kit. I want a kit that's developed and ready to go. When can I have that?

It's not on the F5 website. Smyth Performance is being launched as a seperate business.

It is still in beta phase, so you will probably have to wait a year.

i have a TDI, that kit is way to much. Im getting 40 city 50 highway as is - OEM

pay that much for 10 mpgs? and looks. Not my style

I rather build my own car from scratch for cheaper.
