Team Members
In an effort to develop the most innovative and effective mods for our cars, INTENSE Enterprises, Inc. has a team of several daily driven street cars. These cars are used to test the feasibility of potential future mods, for research and development of new products, and to verify and document performance of existing products. Here are some past and present members of our team.
