When Matt doesn't like a car he says things like: "interesting" or "neat". It's not like he's going to shit on the guys dream while he's driving the car he made by hand.

Putting the GoPro on the cage was an awesome idea

Most silent One Take ever...

so we are just going to act like it is normal that this thing can have a license plate on it but we have to wait 25 years to import a car....

More kit cars please!

2017 Californian Wind Noise - One Take

Normally you wouldn't want to add weight to a car,but I wonder if these cars would handle better with 100-150lb of extra weight in the front.

I say outstanding. This was made by 3 people at a home workshop. Get the bugs worked out. Get a cheaper motor option. Those saying it needs more power are crazy. 250HP in 1400 pounds is crazy for a car this size. It would be a bit pricey I believe. It would hard to get me into one of these over a used 911 money. I'm guessing it would start in the 30s. Keep it up guys you will get there

These Kit car reviews are making me want one!!!!

Use rear lid for bbq...again, I appreciate the build & passion but looks like a crematorium mated with bathroom joinery...

Nice build guys, props for building a vehicle from scratch!!! very few can do that.

Today Fatt Marah drives a car made in a shed he doesn't like very much.

The kiss of death comment for any car builder, "It's so neat"!

Loved the camera angle on this one!

Is 4 working brakes still a thing ?

Love these kit car one-takes Matt! This car looked like it needed a bit more work on the front alignment or something in the suspension tuning, but overall super cool!!

Second time watching this one and I just wanna say I have a whole new appreciation for you driving abilities. For the past couple weeks my trucks clutch was fucked so I've been switching between my brothers, parents, and friends cars: (manuls) '94 geo metro, '96 yota 4runner, '05 yota Matrix, (autos) '11 nissan xterra and '15 yota collola and GODDAMN even for pretty "normal" car the driving experience is different in every single one. I always knew you were obviously a good driver, this is your job, but over these last couple weeks I've realized just how whack it must be to try to jump in 3-7 cars a day and try to drive them fast and well without looking like an idiot.

Nice to see more than 3 brakes working

saw this at super car sunday a few months back, very interesting car!

The semi top down view is awesome

This stuff looks so fun.

NRG wheel, what a quality piece!

camera view from on top looks great!

He loved the DF kit car but hated this one

Exocet still takes the cake in terms of style.

Another mad one

Patiently going to wait on the video for that Saab 9-5 Aero in the background. We need to see more Saab one takes.

this guy being the one who wants to sell this kit should be explaining more about it. guy was silent and gave such little imput, bless Matt for being as professional as he was and evoking conversation from a highly introverted person.

Whenever I see a new TST video I know it's time to take a hefty bonger and go the fuck to bed thanks for bein my alarm clock Matt

Looks very cool, I would install a front spoiler for a little more down force.

imagine going 100 down the canyons and a bird smashes into your face...

Ford's ecoBoost drivetrains are wicked!

Matt: Manual Brakes? (adjusts shoulder harness nervously)

That's a nice SAAB 9-5 AERO in the background. When is the one take coming out? I have two 9-5s one is 2003 the same color as that one and I have a black 2000 9-5 AERO MANUAL that I'm swaping the motor on with a 2008 9-5 B235R Aero motor, it should be around 350hp and 400tq.

Nice GMT-Master Rolex Matt :)

amazing what you can do without TÜV

I wanna go down the kit car rabbit hole one day but do they have any with full roll cages? Exocet seems best for me so far but I'd like something that would keep me in 1 piece and alive at the track on a bad day

"Let's see how it is just cruising". Proceeds to flyby camera @75+ Gotta love it :D

nice angle cam mate

There are so many of these things now, you really got to nail the driving characteristics if you want your design to be successful. That's what sets all these apart IMO. If it doesn't feel right, no one will pick your "version".

they should finish it before selling. stock ecu,needs part trottle tuning at least,that front end scared me from my phone screen.looks like a fun cruiser for sure,but i feel like its a bunch of nice parts bolted together.(for now)

this car will make everyone appreciate what modern cars give you for granted ABS, Differentials, power steering

That's enough kit cars for this year!

Matt: "It needs fenders on it." 2 days later - Sharongo: "Well, what do you think, Matt?" Matt: "Dude, what's with the 2 Telecasters on the front and the 2 Stratocasters on the back??"

There is a label still on the heat shield :S ?

Please tell me you're doing a one take with that Saab 9-5 at 2:10

just wondering how much more is a honda k series engine and why not go with it instead?

This needs a meyers manx style dune buggy body.

Seem they have the right idea and mindset, purely made to be an experience, as analog as possible, but it could look better and it def looked abit scary to drive tbh. I prefer if a car can do without alot of aero parts bolted on, this car could probably do with some aero parts in the front and back too! Give these guys a few years and they will probably put out something amazing! :) Has to remember they are trying to build something affordable here from what I can tell. Not a BAC Mono competitor or top end Atom or Caterham either. That said, if I where to buy anything remotely like it I'd go for the caterham atm, dont care about power or speed, just that classic look is just perfect! :)

How much does it cost?

Needs front down force and a larger turbo..why keep the no top end stock turbo? its undersized. These motors are excellent with properly sized turbo not a massive lagfest but just one that breathes up top since factory turbo goes from 22 psi down to 13 at redline since it can't flow. GTX2863/7 is perfect

so how much is one of these things? my guess prob around 40-50k?

turn on the subtitles and skip to 4:41 XD "dog is about that long"

Nice BBS rims.

I'd happily drive this everyday.

That 9-5 had better be in the next vid!!!

Can you please do a One Take with the SEAT Leon Cupra

I wonder which exoskeleton car is his favorite thus far?

Just a thought, but wouldnt a car like this behave better with a n/a motor, S2000 engine perhaps? Lower torque, top end power would go better with such curb weight. Also, adding weight on the front end could do more good than bad, right?

Is the 9-5 Aero in the background gonna change Matt's feelings on SAABs? I say yes, if it has a Quaife LSD. Place your bets now.

So much trolling here. I'm genuinely curious about the price of the kit. An open wheel racecar with a factory brand-new ecoboost sounds like a riot. A little front downforce and it would be golden.

How do you get it though Ca. DMV

the other open car he was talking about was the "Miata" car that one guy put together and Matt loved and gushed throughout the vid about it. this one, maybe not so much.

What's the crash test rating on this bad boy?

I think the owner / builder was being quiet so he could listen to Matt. This is still a beta version. I'm interested in the suspension setup.

It has the same wheels as my car, can't go wrong with TSW Nurburgrings!

Nice, looks fun. I've had a go in a lot of kit cars and most of them are shit (usually not having being built or setup properly). This looks solid, good low cost fun.

Can't they pull like 100-150kg in the front o fthe car to keep it down?

how much would this bad boy go for?

SAAB in the background. Sweden made this video available. ;)

imo it would have made more sense to add a full cage so you could mount a proper wind shield

6:16 Matt's manly scream :))

Just a front spoiler would do the trick. If you were getting an extra 150lbs at 65mph of down force smashing the front tires down that should fix it.

Maybe Matt should start doing ADS for sunscreen for BALD DUDES

I'd def need fenders just to not get showered by gravel

How did the Specter and the Goblin compare to the Exocet?

Beautiful Pepsi Rollie there Matt

Ford Ecoboost 2.0L Engine is designed with a big torque shove to make a 3,700lbs car feel fast, a 1,400lbs car dose not need boost. A naturally aspirated 4 cylinder could easily make 250hp and be very rev happy which is you want in a car like that. Maybe a hayabusa engine, less torque and a way higher red line, Remember this is the type of car is going to feel fast regardless but the ecoboost will have you breaking the speed limit in second gear, this car should have miata syndrome (feel faster then you're going) and a high revving little engine would set it off and really make it funner then it already is.

Don’t get me wrong, this is neat, but why would you build on a Focus ST as a donor? That car is good as it is...

Interior Stone Chips!

CC is absolutely hilarious

He didn't talk much about this car he designed. I also don't know about that suspension geometry on the rear. Cool car, I don't feel like he was that into it though.

nothing compares to the original: Caterham. pretty cool ride though

Monday morning at work.. ill watch anything. Still waiting for a real car people drive and mod and want on the street ... been a few days.

no mention of price.....? Also no price on their Web site.....? Just the range.....starts at....and can go to.....most are purchased at this price point. .....?

this car seems terrifying to drive

Feel like a NA v6 would be much more to my liking. Less tq more redline for a lightweight vehicle like this.

The part where he got me is 10 grand for a motor, get an exocet, ls swap it. You have a wider powerband that is more linear, and an overall faster, better handling car

These kit cars wish they where Ariel Atoms

This thing is probably as good as an undergrad Senior design project.

So uh, 9-5 Aero soon?

I hope that Saab gets a video too

Everyone... you gotta turn on CC and read ... its so funny...! wait till they start driving... its so funny. Seriously... stick with it... its so funny. The funniest bit was... "Oh touch me go up again"...!

Lmao this dude looks terrified to be in his own car during hard driving. Not a good sign.

Should of gone NA motor with high rev's

what camera do you use for in car footage?

Please get external mic and just sync the audio afterwards.. it will make a huge difference

Do you have one of those weird 3 wheeled Polaris things on the schedule? I've noticed a shit ton on the roads so far this year, mostly driven by middle aged men having a mid life crisis

$10k for engine and trans . . . you can get a brand new LS3 and T56 (or even a Coyote 5.0 w/ trans) for about $12k
