I think the Cobra programme must have been one I saw some time ago, where the guy builds it and sticks a V8 Chevy engine in it, takes it to the track and the instructer drives it and is pretty impressed. Great programme. Makes you want to start building one.... like now!!!
My two sons went down to Cobra a few years back, the plan being to buy a Cobra and build it between them. The guy took each of them out for a test drive in a V8 version. His party piece is he puts a 50p piece on the dashboard and he tells you that if you can pick it up... you can keep it.
Neither of them managed to pick it up!
The plan to buy one fell through when Gary discovered pu$$y and ended up going to live in The States, much to Graham's disgust!
An awesome, scarey car!

I am thinking about a rather more modest home build project - I want to build a kart with my 8 year old son - partly as a learning / bonding thing, partly to get his racing career up and running (I know 8 is a bit late for this!) so in a few years time he will be able to keep his old man in Ferrari's (and Honda's!).
Has anyone built a kart? Any recomendations?????

based upon your experiences do you now regret buying the S2000? if you knew then what you know now would you have stuck with the ITR? or perhaps waited for the CTR?
Reading between the lines I get the impression your not totally convinced by the car and perhaps the ITR was more to your liking. I could of course be totally wrong.

I've not given up on the S2000 yet - but I'd prefered less problems, and not losing significant amounts of power when hot. Currently I'm estimating it could cost me around
