If Mr Stone had more than 109 days to build 2 cars (not 3), with aero manufactured locally, with engines developed at SBRE modeled on the experience with Ford engines... they might have saved several million dollars... and not looked like tail end charlies all of 2013...
GRM/Polestar/Volvo have shown it can be done properly for less money than Nissan or Erebus. And in a timeframe somewhere in between those. Although they built 2 new chassis for the Volvos, GRM at least had a years experience with COTF machinery.
