The performance claimed by the company seem inline with one would expect from a 240hp lightweight roadster. Imagine one with a Comptech supercharger and all the go-fast goodies that are avaliable from some of the established tuners?

WOW! If I'm ever stepping out of one of those...remind me to get out from the left side! . That, or figure on crispifying calves in the process of wriggling out .

Sweet lil' ride

PS. Not figuring that 'vertible top would last long at any sort of speeds (can you say, "parachute?"

If that was my plan, I'd rather start with a 4G63 and easily get 500 HP without the reliability issues. Even a K20 would be better.

We could ask them to drop in an LS7 crate engine and make 505hp from the get go

I guess the reason for bring this to everyone's attention is the possibilities if for say your car gets totaled but the drivetrain was unaffected.A simple swap could net a very entertaining drive. Plus the fact the car looks
'old school" with all the late technology

LS7 sounds like a plan...


... and I always thought putting my F20C engine and tranny into a Caterham 7 would be cool if my car got wrecked.
