I'd like to see them build a DeLorean next, now that would be wild.

1.21 Gigawatts!

pretty good, but dont think it quite has the impact of their previous builds.

Thanks Skip, funny they do not talk about the RS chassis under it??

I think you have to see it in person to really understand the build. I know someone that saw it over the build and he said it really is amazing!!

Just got back form SEMA and I agree with you. They do really awesome work, but I was very underwhelmed with this one. It was a big step backwards for them, imo.

I was expecting more too - maybe they were under more constraints due to the client ? Although what I heard was it only had to be yellow.
However there was likely also a budget.

Budget is the only reason i can imagine they put a LS motor in it. We've seen Ring do a lot of Roush/Windsor stuff, a fuel injected modern tech Cleveland or Clevor would have been really interesting, maybe a custom IR manifold or x-over headers or something like that would have really set it off. I strongly dislike the interior as well.

However, it is a Pantera on a custom RS chassis with Ring bros quality. Its definitely a nice setup. Color hurts it as well. Client said it had to be yellow, but maybe a more contemporary yellow ? Perhaps a bit matted out or something.

Anyway I'm not knocking it too much obviously its a ncie machine, just didn't quite live up my day dream.

I love it! Sure, it may not be to the same level as other cars but it's still great. It's got a lot of little touches that I've seen on other RB cars that helps it be identified as one of their builds. It's very cleanly done which is something I prefer over flash. While a more exotic motor would have been nice, they did a good job of making the LS3 unique and look great under there. Ford blue(to me it's Ford blue anyway) was a good idea for engine color. I would have preferred a more subdued interior color choice/pattern but the design is nice. I'm really looking forward to more detailed pictures of this car, especially under body.

I am a little disappointed that there is virtually no mention of the chassis being worked on at RS. Maybe that's ok with the people involved but to me, credit should be given where it's due.

YES ! This is what I need too ! Hopefully they are forthcoming.

Man I sure miss those build books. My copies of "Reactor" and "Sick Fish" are falling apart I've thumbed through them so many times

I liked it. Not overly done and yet still very striking.

[Revved]

IMHO I like it better than some of the ones they've done over the last few years. The details were much more subtle but still there. They didn't have overbearing billet work smacking you in the face everytime you turned around so I can see how some people didn't see it as "striking" but it was clean, and looked OE quality with fit and finish and nothing looked like an "add on."

Between ADRNLN and Blizzard I'm liking it. Bailout was just too ADD for me..

Me too, just think how many really technical and cool cars has build after those two- wich were the wery best of buildbook.

I cant believe build books did not bring enough money , so what happened ??
