Whoever thought the Miata was too heavy is crazy and brilliant.
Use Code "TST" for 15%!!! off parts at www.wheelwell.com !
The Exocet took the idea of the exciting, expensive Ariel Atom and made it obtainable to the average person. Here's how it works: buy a Miata, remove the body, drop on the Exocet's tubular steel "body", and bang: You've just lost 1000lbs. The result is incredible.

This build gives me motivation to work on my own exocet which has been sitting in the garage untouched for 2 years :(. I don't have a fancy Camaro V6 in the garage, though, just a regular NA motor. So many questions about choices he made, he's located in same are as me, maybe I'll look him up or something. I'm surprised I don't see him on the Exocet FB group. This thing is so fucking awesome with that 300hp V6, glorious build. Will be much more fun than the 120 or whatever I have in mine, and even that is enough to cook the tires through 2nd gear.

Back in the late 80's I had a local race shop put a V-6 in my Opel GT. Not gonna lie, that was a fun car. I asked if it was something they thought they could do and the guy laughed at me. He said we put a 454 in one, I think we can fit a V-6. I wante a rotory engine but they refused to do it. And he gave me a list of reasons why I wouldn't want to anyway that made sense. He said trust us, a V-6 will work better, be cheaper and we will make it look like it came that way. He was right. Cost me like 2 grand to have it done. And don't panic, it wasn't a nice Opel. I paid 600 bucks for it and it had issues where it couldn't be restored. Like for startes the interior was trashed and you really couldn't get the parts to fix it. Wish I could have kept it but I got married and we know how that goes lol.

Zack always made me chuckle with his clever jokes and tends to know his stuff; Matt, however, when drunk - which he regularly was - constantly laughed out loud at his own jokes and was arrogant & interruptive as fuck towards his team and some guests. I must have listened to 80 podcasts or so; it was informative, and a hilarious podcast at times, but Matt being just too overbearing is what veered me away. That said, Matt's professionalism on the YT platform is/was excellent. I just hope Zack gets the attention and love that he deserves -- he's a humble, intelligent and hilarious motherfucker.
