Stumbled upon THIS via Facebook (I think the link will still play even if you dont use or have a Facebook account). I would spend money on this, although I dont think it would be as plug 'n' play as the Lotus one.

Wow! Very impressive.
I can only imagine what a setup like that would cost if they were made in small quantities.

there may be answers to that in the comments (I didnt read any). But since they were still in development, and there may even be copyright issues, the guy who makes them (it was only one guy) may end up dealing with more enquiries than working on them. It may even be a hobby for the guy at the minute too, as a sideline to regular work, and wanting it to be for his own car (the mustang)?

They could always license Rick-Sta to do the 75/ZT units!

Loads of comments, but none about the company. Did a little google, but no links. Man, what a setup that would be!

I believe the guy requested not to be named as he didn’t want inundated with requests. There was some talk online that this was a hobby and not a business venture but I don’t know how true it is.

It seems like the sort of product that could be sold or licensed to a manufacturer to produce. Then the developer could either work in a development role or just sit back and count his profits as the commission cheques rolled in.
