But don't get your heart set on this car, because it won't be up for grabs, but a different S will be. "Using my experience in building the S2000, the first car to be built [for BosStylists] will be another S2000 and most of the parts which I used in my car will actually be available to choose." But if you don't like some, or even all of the parts Ralph has used, you have the opportunity to change them. When you go to the site you get to pick the modifications that you want to see on the car. Once this is done there is a rendered graphic of your creation and then have a chance to win it. "The most important aspect of the whole thing for me is the public interaction in the selection of parts, allowing the users to vote for the components which should be installed on the final car."
Besides, it would be rude of us to deprive Ralph of driving his creation after all these months of waiting. "Having seen the car close to completion on my last visit to the US I can only describe it as breathtaking. I have been following the project closely by pictures, emails and conversations with Andres but I have not been seeing it in the flesh every day." Bossino explains. "WOW! Hitting full boost at 4000rpm the car just hauls you into the backrest of your seat while devouring all the revs, forcing you to jump from gear to gear. It was an amazing experience and I really can't wait to take the car for a ride once it arrives. I am convinced I will sit in that seat for hours and hours... From what it was to what it has become is truly amazing; from a tame but potent car to something exotic and deliriously powerful." We hope the car reaches you in perfection Ralph.

Props I would like to thank all the painters at South Florida Collision for finally giving the car a paint job of the quality it deserved, Mike and Ben at Bulletproof Automotive for all the parts and a special thanks to Richie, Andres and Junior for holding the car at RAW Racing for over a year and all their excellent work without making a single complaint. My family, especially my girlfriend, for putting up with me and their help and support and a further thanks to Andres for being my right-hand man throughout the project. I would not have been able to do this had it not been for him. Last, but not least, the crew at Super Street for finding my thread on the internet, getting in touch with me, flying a photographer all the way to Florida for a shoot and doing an excellent feature on the car.
Thank you!
