Anyways, i was reading R&T today, and on the back page i see this page with ads for custom build replicas. One of them was this nice little car:

http://superformance.com/s1_more.asp

I dunnow if many people know/heard of it, but i thought i'd post it anyways. I honestly would love to get something like that when i have the money. Anyways, for those who don't feel like reading: the car comes as a complete rolling chassis without the engine or tranny. What really impressed me besides all the suspension stuff was that it weighs 1062lbs! Now they claim that a 2.0 non boosted engine will make the car run 0-60 in less 5 secs. Now imagine putting a tuned ca or say sr in their and runn 220-250rwhp... Anyways, the chassis costs $23K but i'm pretty sure it's very worth the price

I've long since been considering a Westfield Megabird as my next project car.

i'd say you'd be better off with a cobra.. but a cool idea for a kit car.. and i don't think they make them, is the dusenberg race cars.. they are huge 1seat cars, i guess you'd just have to see one to know, obviously they aren't well known, or cheap.. but a kit for one would rock my world, but would still cost like 50k :/ *cruel world*

Hippo - yeah thats a very nice car. And went for not too expensive either. Would be sweet to own <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Loren - i think cobra will get owned on a track by the 7 replica. BTW, how come you are back? I thought u were gone for good  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Exige is no kit car. Sun International (the guys that import Elise's and stick B18C's in them) had a Motorsports Elise up for sale a couple of years ago. Even the Exige is no match for that thing on the track.
