Hmmm. One can look at the forest and trees from different perspectives re: a souped up Pontiac production model vs. Revenge Designs.
What's good for Pontiac is good for Revenge Designs. That's one. The other? What's good for Revenge Designs is good for Pontiac because Pontiac isn't going to put up bucks for a custom model that its salesforce can retail to special order customers. Revenge Designs supplies the capital and know how for custom production models.
It's like Saleen with the Mustang, for example. Ford isn't spending capital on special order custom models with limited production parts to an extent the vehicle is totally worked over outside of the regular assembly line.
