The front 3/4 view of the falcon is just SICK

How about some interior pics of the falcon?? And I think this was already covered somewhere on here but what is the price point on the Falcon?

I Love That Falcon

Very, very cool! Certainly gives a better perspective being able to compare it to your Viper Street Serpent. Is that the first unveiling of the Red Coupe as I don't remember seeing that one before? The Serpent Kit stands out a bit more in the convertible with the coupe rear end - and still looks great in the full coupe dress.
Have you had a chance to put a few miles on the Falcon yet?
Congrats on completing your dream car!

It is. Keep in mind that the serpent is 2" wider than a regular Viper. The Falcon is 1/2" wider than a lambo murci.

This is ss #13 for a customer in Texas. Only 3rd ss coupe built. The Street Serpent was designed as a vert which has the most dramatic impact. I've only driven the Falcon on short bursts as it's not the final version of the car and is still going through final stages of refinement.

Jeff, I hope you are still building the Serpent in 3-4 years as I am saving up for the conversion of my Gen 3 convertible... Unless I buy Rocket's first...

The Falcon is my insane determination to own the type of exotic car I used to dream about as a kid. The Viper has always fit the bill for me, but there was something I alwas loved about mid-engine exotics and as much as I love Ferrari/Lambo, I feel like their engine/drivetrain fussiness and maintainence cost are inexcusable. Plus, they just don't look as cool as I remember them years ago. I love the Ford GT, but I really wanted open air car so a targa is a must. So, this is the Jeff cocktail of all the great sports cars I've ever loved. It's not finished yet. I've got some drivers and a track set up for this spring for refinement as well as wind tunnel testing. Sales have been made and we're actually starting slow production as we speak. All my focus is making sure I build a great car.

Does the car have to have airbags? I thought I read somewhere where all cars have to have front and side airbags now

No plans to stop building Street Serpents. I love verts, and the Street Serpent Vipers are my favorites. Great lines on these cars.

No, but we may incorperate them over time.

Jeff, It's super cool. What's the drivetrain/suspension based on, a Viper? What a great thing to do, to be able to make your dreams come true. Just Awesome!

Viper engine would have been great. I LOVE that motor. Unfortunately its much too big (long) for the mid-engine design. The car would have looked really goofy so We went with the all reliable, powerful LS motors. Ls9 Supercharged version is 640 HP. We do use StopTech Brakes and adjustable KW coil over suspension.
A few more pics..

Looks amazing Jeff! It has to be the best feeling to have your baby, your dreams come to life.

The cut of the headlights is downright menacing. That is a beauty Jeff.

Have you scaled it yet? I'd be interested to see what the corner weighting looks like.
That is simply an incredible undertaking. Did you design and build this on your own? Did you design your own chassis or is it based off of a Corvette? The rear suspension looks like a late model Vette. Simply in awe, wow!

Updated pic of SS #13. Installed the same front splitter as the one on SS #5. Just turned 9,000 miles and adding headers and complete exhaust system. Have added MGW short through shifter and better intake. [=
