Yet another supercar
Guys, we are doing it all wrong, according to this website all you have to do is give these people some money and they will build you the fastest car
in the world.
World's Fastest Car, 2700 Horsepower, 315mph Dagger GT™ Supercar Official Website, TranStar Racing™ LLC
Do these people (and all the other websites like this) really get anyone to put money down when they do not have any photos of a real car at all?
Browse the site for the entertainment value (look at the FAQ). The pic of the guy with the transaxle is labelled "man with transaxle" and
looks like the logo is shopped onto his T shirt?
Cheers
Fred W B
They say
If you wish to purchase a Dagger GT, please e-mail us at ncmiller@GTR-XS.com. TranStar Racing™ is only producing a limited number of Dagger GTs in
2011/2012 for our customers. The base model, the Dagger GT-S or “Sport” model, will have a probable MSRP price of $750,000 plus whatever you wish to
add from an unlimited list of options. The Luxury model will cost about $850,000 depending on the added options you wish to select. We expect the
Luxury model to compete with the million-dollar exotics in terms of luxury, and stomp them in performance. The 3 racing models will also depend on
options selected, including a 2700 hp engine option and racing equipment like a roll cage and drag chutes for landspeed and drag racing. You can also
choose a programmable split wing for road racing. Plan on $800,000 for the 3 racing options. We will work out final pricing during the specification
and customization process for your car while we negotiate your final sales agreement.
and
The lightweight aluminum “Dagger GT 2700 Transaxle”, exclusively designed and built for us by Mendeola Transaxles, is shown-off by one of our staff.
This transaxle is a one-of-a-kind engineering masterpiece owned by TranStar Racing and is capable of withstanding a 2700 HP/2500 TQ load. This
transaxle connects to a heavy-duty drive shaft and drivetrain made of M300 steel, the strongest steel on earth
and
Philosophy: Minimum Risk Policy
We will use existing, proven automotive fabricators and experts. We will assemble the car using an experienced assembly team and the best-of-the-best,
proven-and-tested, USA-manufactured, state-of-the-art parts and components. There is no need to invent new engines when Tom Nelson is the best and is
already doing it. ‘Buy it: don’t invent it.’ We use only proven parts and systems, except for our 300 mph 6-speed transaxle which will be unique and
custom-designed and built by America’s top transaxle builder, Mike Mendeola.
and
Why do you believe you can achieve your performance goals?
We have the horsepower, aerodynamics and the engineering know-how. Let me assure you of one thing. We never give up. We will set those records. We do
not “try” anything. We will do it by force of will if not by the brute force of extreme horsepower. It CAN be done mathematically, on paper. And we
have the guys who can make it reality. We will never stop until we actualize these goals.

In this document and related comments by Company management, words and phrases like “expect,” “anticipate,” “will feature,” “will include,” “will
use,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, representing
management's current judgment and expectations about possible future events. Management believes these forward-looking statements and financial
forecasts, and the judgments, upon which they are based, to be reasonable, but they involve numerous known and unknown risks and they are not
guarantees of actual future performance or financial position, which may be materially different from what is expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements

The web site is like a poorly written spoof LOL. I'm sure most of the images on there i have seen somewhere else. Now where's my checkbook
so I can send off my deposit
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

The full guy was photoshop'ed on the garage. Using the wonderful "Search Google with this image" plugin for Chrome, I found hundreds
of sites showing the same picture (Example1, Example2)! So this is an
image from a database for web designers.
Bothered to crop the image to get just the transaxle and search for it. Only got 2 hits, the gtr-xs.com site and a GT40 forum where Fred W B posted
the same thread 
So I guess that the transaxle has really been made (either physically or in photoshop) for the picture assembly.
Now I feel I need to go do something useful

Someone on GT40s.com found the original transaxle pic
Excuse me - but does the picture above look maybe a little like Jason Lavigne from Factory Five Racing? Maybe they put a mask on Jason and forced him
to change T-Shirts? Or maybe Jason is a double-agent? Hmmmm...
