That's the MT900 Mosler Photon. As far as I heard there were alot of problems with this car.

The idea was neat though, achieve supercar performance with a stock LS6 Corvette engine, thus the car weighs 2500 lbs or somewhere abouts there.

Never new it had a Subaru MOMO steering wheel....

I believe the shifter is from a GTO IIRC.

From other articles I've read, it took Mosler 5 years to get this car approved by the DOT or something in that nature. He didn't sell alot of them if at all.

I'd take a Noble M400 over this one.
