That is pretty retarded:

"...billet bound book is available on an extremely limited basis for $4,500 per copy. This is the ultimate hardcover book. To make the machined aluminum binding requires more than 35 pounds of aluminum plate and over 30 hours of CNC mill time for each book."

Ditto. Anything billet is cool. Pretty expensive to do a whole car in billet components though.

Antonov - love the sig pic. I want one of me doing that...guess I'd better get to some track days...

The book idea is stupid, but the car itself is pretty neat.

VERY impressive stuff. I'd love to see a S2000 built with that level of OCD like craftsmanship.
