is true I don't know how these cars have turned so many fast laps at tracks beating many other factory built race cars. The one thing I know is poor engineering will show up on the race track. That much I have learned in the 20+ years I have on track.
I also know first hand. because I spend some quality time in their prototype GTP car that they are great guys to deal with. Gary who runs the shop is very straightforward and honest. Can the same be said dating way back to the D&D cars? I don't know. But I do know they are well funded, have a stand up guy who owns the company and another stand up guy who runs it.
I have no financial connection to Mongoose so what I say is just based on my own personal experience and I'm one to speak my mind if someone deserves it, but some of the things said about Mongoose simply are not true. NOBODY associated with D&D is still with Mongoose from the conversations I have had with them. And so relating them is not a fair or accurate statement.
Go to the shop look at their facilities, and the cars (Last time I was there they had 3 Complete Grand Sports and another 3 or 4 being built), or call and speak with Gary. Judge for yourself, not from experiences dating back 10 years or more with people who are not connected any longer.
That's my thoughts on the subject. The Grand Sports are stellar cars and the best "I" have seen are the one Mongoose is selling.
