"GRX" is correct - I have a model name as well - any ideas? Topic locked for 48 hours for you to answer

Wow, that's one sinister looking beast. Is it as mean underneath as it looks?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

The only info I have on its power is that it's a "mid-mounted V8"

For 1 point. Please upload a photo & history, of a one off, all steel mid engined car, built in Kenosha Wisconsin. I remember seeing it in Road & Track Exotic Cars Quarterly magazine.

No, I did not award a point to myself. I didn't recollect the name of this car...or I would have used the database & seen if it was a previou puzzle. I found a photo of it; while searching for that wedge shaped yellow & black roadster/racer. That is a hard car for me to locate & solve.

I knew about both red cars, but I couldn't remember who built them, or what name they received.  As far as I can tell, the red non-Mercury was also called GRX Interceptor.
