Our Vision: More Power and Speed at Less Cost.

The TranStar vision is to satisfy the passion of zealous supercar enthusiasts by building the world’s first 315 mph/500 kph Supercar, the Dagger GT™, using a routinely-built Tom Nelson 2700 horsepower racing engine and a unique, edgy , carbon fiber design for the body. Your customized Dagger should also defeat all the other Supercars by wide margins in the 0-60 and quarter mile based on its horsepower-to-weight ratio which will also be a record for our class.

As engineers, we have a built-in desire and mission to do all of this cost-effectively while improving quality to match or defeat any luxury sports car in the world. In short, our goal is to be the number 1 world-class supercar in every category: quality, appearance, performance and value, with minimal risks.

Philosophy: Minimum Risk Policy

We will use existing, proven automotive fabricators and experts. We will assemble the car using an experienced assembly team and the best-of-the-best, proven-and-tested, USA-manufactured, state-of-the-art parts and components. There is no need to invent new engines when Tom Nelson is the best and is already doing it. ‘Buy it: don’t invent it.’ We use only proven parts and systems, except for our 300 mph 6-speed transaxle which will be unique and custom-designed and built by America’s top transaxle builder, Mike Mendeola.

Race and Street

The Dagger GT™ will be a race car, but it will be very “streetable” too. Tom’s engine can be computer-mapped to run without boost at lower horsepower levels for street operations, and then dial up maximum boost and inject racing gas, automatically. - - without leaving the cockpit! Ride height can also be adjusted from the cockpit as can the amount of sound from the exhausts - - from silent to wide-open, or anywhere in between. The chassis and suspension are also a balanced blend of race and comfort, customizable to buyer specs. Light-footed street driving will produce reasonable gas mileage for a big block engine.

Interior Options

The buyer can also specify ‘race’, ‘sport’ or ‘luxury’ interiors to suit his or her taste. “After FX Customs”, our interior and paint provider, has made a show-winning reputation by providing stylish-to-radical aftermarket, show quality interiors for Lamborghinis.

Drag Racing

If the buyer likes drag racing, the car is designed so that a complete set of JEGS bolt-on dual parachute attachments/accessories can be purchased so the buyer will meet NHRA safety requirements allowing you to race at NHRA-sanctioned tracks. The attachment points are connected directly to the frame behind the removable license plate.

Road Racing

The Dagger is also expected to set the record for the Car and Driver “Lightning Lap” at the Virginia International Raceway, due to the 3 long straightaways on the Grand Course, coupled with the Dagger’s incredible top speed and record-setting acceleration.

Styling
The Dagger’s conceptual image was selected because most supercars look the same and are boring except for, possibly, the Lamborghini which separates itself from the others with its edginess and angles.

Our goal is to produce a supercar that is unique, edgy and dazzling in appearance. Most enthusiasts have been disappointed by the Big 3 who roll out concept cars and never build them.

Our intent is to produce one of the attractive concept cars that did not get built. There is never unanimity of agreement on what constitutes an attractive car. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” We hope and pray you will behold the Dagger as we do.
