Just an idea...

 

Yeah I know thats what it will end up being with all the DMV stuff added in. I might go ecotec if they offer it, some of the sandrail guys are making insane amounts of power with it, so getting to 240-260hp would be no problem for me.

 

or one of these

 

Wow. Those prices are almost reasonable. Better than I expected. If it gets CA certified I'll be giving it serious consideration. Might be a safer than my motorcycle

 

Nice write-up. Looks like an awesome track car with the ability to be street-legal if necessary (drive to and from track). No way would I use that on the road though.

 

Uh, that car is more like a race-car than a street-legal car. You'd have to wear a helmet everytime you step, if the car were legalized or could even pass crash tests.

 

That's okay. I always dress for the "pavement luge" and wear a helmet when I ride. This'd be an excuse to go get an SA rated helmet with some downforce!

 

It's so much fun to drive on the street, I thought it would be annoying.
With a helmet it's really enjoyable.

It would get old though if you were not a track nut.

 

if it's street-legal in Texas, I might ditch my S for this!

 

Registering one in California would be a challenge. You would still have to fight for the 600 registration lottery (or whatever the number is now) for special constructed cars. I tried to go through that for a Caterham a while back but bailed out. I think they gave out the entire year allocation on the first day that year. I can still dream though
