As you can read on the web page (http://www.dpcars.net/dp1test/info.htm) it's actually called the Random Research dp1, but apart from that you've obviously done your homework, so the point shall be yours! Nice going.
Is "dp" an acronym for "doodie plop"?
Honestly, I don't know. I thought it might be the initials of the guy who built it - but for all I know, his name might very well be Doodie Plop...

No, it's an acronym for the name of the designer Dennis Palatov (as the S and L in SeaLion is an acronym for my real name):

Very interesting concept...reminds me of the 1964 Hurst Floorshift Special and the STP Turbocar of 1967...should be very fast and well-balanced.

Yeah, I just stumbled across the Hurst on a web site the other day, and it's very similar.
Tifosi could be considered our Hurst Floor-Shift Special resident expert.
