I've never liked those kinds of cars, I'm sure they'd be fun to drive though. :)

Lotus 7 (clone)

Lotus 7 (clone) oh, cool, but like I said, it's still ugly. :D

I've love to drive it though, with the owner not looking ;)

no... it's not a clone, it's a 1967 series 3 lotus seven, 1600cc pushrod engine, left hand drive, set up for FIA spec vintage racing. faster than the elise race car from the west coast distributor who showed up at the last race.

Interesting looking ride. Looks like it would be fun to cruise around in.

It's not made for cruising, it's made for racing :D

it might be kinda illegal to cruise with..seeing that it has very close to slicks for tires...

the tires are street (DOT) legal, but still R compound... hmmm... crazy

haha yeah i rather have a Caterham SuperLight
230hp and only tippin the scales at 500kg
that makes for some bad ass performance

mmmmmmmm Caterham:jump:
now only if i had enough for one of these even though they are pretty cheap when it comes to super cars

I'll up you about 150 hp but about another 200 kgs wet including driver, full roll cage including side intrusion bars, intercooler and fuel cell ont he Caterham.

There's a version here that's got a Toyota 3SGTE 2.0 litre turbo that's been clocked with a Correvit by a local mag with 0-100kph time of 3.7 seconds and 100-0 time of 2.9 - so under 7 seconds for 0-100-0 (on road legal tyres).

It's a serious piece of kit but more lately it's a race car although it could be made essential road legal given some time and some minor work.

It also has the capability for launch control and operates with data logging and programmable engine management.

Oh and since the test it's got more power, a bigger hairdryer and runs on slicks...

And then there is the Tiger Z100WR :licker:

Then there is the Donkervoort, made in the Netherlands. It uses the VAG 1.8T, available in factory trim from 150-225hp, and can surpass 400hp without much difficulty.

the tiger is a sweet car too

Basically, except its AWD, twin engined. :licker: They say it does 0-60 in I think, 2.9 seconds? I'm not totally sure on the exact number, but it was under 3. Except when they did that time, they blew one of the engines.
