I checked that car out quite a bit and wondered why it was converted to right drive - thanks for the vid to explain that.

Of all the amazing cars at SEMA, I have to admit, that one had one thing that bugged me... the pedal assy. I have one of the first Tilton triple pedal assy in my race car so I am very familiar with it and can't begin to imagine why he mounted everything inside including the masters. If you have to change one of those, with that nice interior and carpet, etc, you will need 15 ft of plastic sheet draped all over the place, have to twist down into there and fight to get the master out, drop it in a zip-loc immediately, etc to get it in and out without dropping highly corrosive brake fluid on a rather nice interior. IMHO should have built a simple pedal box down there to mount the assy to and have the masters exterior to the interior, accessible from below and easy to swap out. They do fail sooner or later.

Otherwise, and that was just a pet peeve on my part and I couldn't build a car like that so don't get me wrong, really awesome car. Also I assumed the 515 was the cubic inch size so interesting to hear why it was chosen. At first I figured something like 5.1L, 5spd or something matching what Ferrari does since I saw it at first from the rear, then saw the engine and knew it wasn't 5.1L

The car was wild in person. The entire interview was like 20 minutes long! I'd love to get some better shots in daylight.
