Mike Burroughs and Scotto Discuss it all … Except the F40!?
6/3/20262 hr 37 min
Mike Burroughs is back… and he’s got some gripes! If you didn’t already know him from StanceWorks; or indeed for his legendary F40 and K-swapped 308 projects, you may remember Mike as one of our earliest guests alongside Ferrari expert Victoria Bruno. It seems only right to bring him back on and throw him the mic - he’s got some things to say! (Oh, and stop asking him when the F40 project will be done!). Apart from *cough* that project… Mike has plenty of other fascinating projects, and he even gives us a sneak peek of what’s in the pipeline. Beyond the metal, Scotto and Mike get borderline philosophical on this one, it’s a ripper. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode of Very Vehicular, brought to you by Viper Industrial. As always, I'm your host, Brian Scotto, and today we have a repeat offender. That's right, Mike Burroughs from StanceWorks is back, because w- I wanted to have a one-on-one with him and get into a lot on h- his projects, the way he does things, sort of his mentality around all of it. It's an excellent conversation. Give it a listen. [static] If your favorite pair of safety glasses prevented a catastrophic eyeball loss, those things deserve their place in the trophy cabinet. But if you just got a bad scratch right in your line of sight, bummer. And Heatwave Visual knows this. Introducing the Skynet, an all new frame that's Z87+ safety rated with zero horizontal obstructions. But the highlight feature is the new lens protection film. Think iPhone screen protector for your safety specs. It even comes with a jig to replace the films yourself for when you've stared into those mesmerizing grinding sparks for just a breath too long. And on top of all that, these are their lightest frames ever. Find them at heatwavevisual.com. [static] Have you ever bought a set of coilovers just to lower your car for looks? It's okay. Slammed cars look great. And while KW Suspension has you more than covered for that, when it's time to step up and make your street car into a track car, they offer the Clubsport, available in both two-way and three-way adjustability. This kit offers top motorsport technology for road-going vehicles. It's developed at the Nürburgring, but on street tires, so you can race on Sunday, but still commute on a Monday. And who doesn't like being able to name drop the infamous
