Mr Dong better give The Dong good brakes or else this thing will proabably do 200 barrel rolls after failing to make the Porsche Curves and come crashing down on my tent in the campsite.

Don't worry. Even if the Dong crashes on your tent, all will be made right again. The Dong is good at pitching a tent!
Seriously, the DeltaWang continues to set the comedy bar higher and higher each day. The thing is so pathetic, but yet I'll have hiccups all day tomorrow just laughing from the reality show that is the DeltaWang. All they need now is for Dick Trickle and Randy Lajoie to drive it and this company to sponsor it:

You mean apart from the tub...or the tires...
Sorry, maybe that is cheap shots at them, I have not kept up with this thing at all, so do not know what parts are locally made.

The tires were from Michelin and the tub is from the AMR while the transmission and brakes are from, EMCO Gears (Chicago based) and Performance Friction Brakes (South Carolina based)... I assumed that like the tub and tires for the ECU and engine they would go with already proven units to reach their deadlines

I think they've already said they'll use a WRC/S2000 engine.

What's the big deal keeping secrets. Just to have more press releases? Built it and go test

 Oops, I forgot about the big parts! I just had the recent press releases in mind talking about other components as F50GTPlus mentioned.

I guess maybe they are trying to build some buzz. I would try to wait to announce an engine deal until the car is ready to do a roll out. i think it would look better to have video of the car moving when talking about an engine deal.

An update http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/ra...r-takes-shape/
I still can't help but think, that this thing must have something going for it, with all that talent behind it. We shall see.

Looking forward to seeing it turn a wheel... Which in this case I think means something slightly different to normal.
