Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

yea i hear those things are super fast cause they don't weigh ----, they look like ---- too. just not my taste. i'd take an 11 second jdm 00' civic hatch over that thing anyday.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

11 second jdm hatch would be nice, but I think I'd rather have one of these. It'd be just a badass car period. I must admit the look is sorta like a dune buggy, but it's a ------ machine and I would love to have one.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

i have never heard of these....hummm....





+1

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.

they had a display at a car show I went to. had video of some guy ripping around residential areas.. open wheel car, just driving the ---- out of it, and trees lining the road..


just from the video, not only are they quick, but they handle.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

yeah all the old farts drive those cars around. There cobras though

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

That is actually a caterham 7 as apposed to a super 7.

the original is a lotus and it was called the super 7.
the kit car that you can get is called the caterham 7.

I hope to be building one in the next few years. we are planning on putting in a 20b engine in it too. Should be a blast. 20b is the 3 rotor rotary engine, they are light as hell and monstrous in HP.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

20bs arent really that light, they weigh as much as an ls1, and they come with 280 hp stock.... but they are capable of making good numbers

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

20B-REW "Production" Engine specifications
Power/RPM 280ps@6500rpm = 276.16HP stock on 0.7 Bar (=10.29 psi)
Torque/RPM 40kgm@8000rpm = couldn't find converter
Weight 350kg W/all accessories & manifolds = 772lbs

it is said with just a boost controler you can get 500hp on the stock engine.

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
 

yea you can, but its not like a honda motor. You have to be very good at tuning. You cant just playit by ear and listen for detonation, most the time the first "ping" your hear will be a cracked apex seal and the next will be a thrown seal

Re:Looky what I saw on the freeway the other yesterday.
