Ben, i agree it looks huge fun.I've just emailed for a European price and to see whether they'll deliver to the U.K. Tony
Automatic transmission? If EVERYONE drove these, it would be one thing. But you couldn't possibly drive one in normal traffic and expect to enjoy the experience.
It says they have an option for a 2 seater and a lexan canopy. Although, you could wear a helmet - kind of like a motorcycle type ride.
I'd not be likely to drive it withought at least goggles (low speeds) or my full face helmet. Just seeing the looks on other driver's faces would be worth it. Probally be a friggin blast just going around the block. I'd take it up 1, you know I would... Best! Ben.
Did you notice, not a hair out of place! But 1900 pounds--way to heavy! 250 HP and it still takes longer 0-60 than an F355!
Could be a nice way for us California commuters to use the diamond lanes. In the single-seater configuration it gets around the 2-person carpool requirement. --Woody
There are a few items on this that would have to come off to make it street legal in the uk-SVA test,front and rear wings,wheels will have to have to be coverd-open wheel not alowed in UK,nosecone may be ify, looks dam good chaps Dale.
Looks like a POS to me. At first I thought it was going to be an inexpensive track toy but it's a straight-up poseur vehicle for people who watched "Driven" and actually liked it. An iron block Chrysler V6 out of the 300M mated to the factory Chrysler tranny, an air conditioning option, over a ton in weight with the driver (as it is, I bet the 1900 pound claim is dry, add oil, gas, and coolant and you're already pushing on the 1-ton door), and no mention of anything remotely important on the "Spec" page like tires, alignment settings, brake info (pads, pistons, caliper design/construction) ... nothing. They use the word "handling" in the borchure once. For $22K, get a used Miata, send it off FlyingMiata (http://www.flyinmiata.com) and turn it into a street legal track hound that would run circles around most everything else.
