Let's see. I think it was the AC Cobra 427 that did 0 to 100 to 0 in 10 sec? :mrgreen:

That would be a V8 that the worlds most popular kit car is based on also using a V8. Of course we all know that the 9.4 sec, 0-100-0 world record is held by a V8 kit car, the Ultima.

Did I mention V8's and popular in the same sentence?

I want a car that can do 0 to 125 to 0 in 15 sec? Some thing like that and be able to turn well. I can wish????? :roll:

I think a Prius can turn those kinds of numbers, can't it?

We are talking miles per hour, not furlongs per centifortnight!

Started on number 8....
Maybe its the repetition, maybe a more organized shop, or both but its getting much easier to build these now

Made a few changes on Marty's car while we wait on the trans and custom intercooler.
The silver wing is for mock-up, new wing on its way.

That front wing looks familiar... And nice!

and in my spare time finished the chassis on #007, primed it (customer wants paint instead of powder coat), test fit the engine/trans, and some of the FG.
Now I have to design a full cage for her and uhm....sleep a little :shock:

Inspiration from the similar long-nosed SLK roofline maybe?
