How about an LS7? 427ci, 500HP+, dry sump, a race engine for the street. Or if you want some japanese technology, how about a twin turbo charged Lexus V8. Gearbox selection is also left to your imagination. Popular choices are the Porsche G50 gearboxes and due to generous engine bay you can even fit the physically larger & stronger Ricardo(Ford GT) gearboxes. We can also assist in sourcing appropriate gearboxes. Body quality that is industry leading. The photographed black vehicle has gelcoat body panels that feature high gloss finish and perfect gapping straight out of the mould. Security & Safety is provided by design. The doors have a locking key mechanism and you cannot remove/hinge the tail with the doors locked. The coolant pipes run down the outside of the cockpit. The kit is supplied standard with a 6 point cage with additional rear longitudinal braces. Removeable door bars are also available for fitment during track days. Collapsible steering column, centralised fuel tank, over-sized brakes and the list goes on. Turnkey build time including paint is quoted at 200hrs. The SL-C kit was designed from the ground up to be a very quick and easy vehicle to construct. Kits can be supplied from the factory at any build stage, including complete turnkey. Compliance is an important factor when it comes to ease of registration. The SL-C was built with world wide compliance in mind, from the use of approved glass and lighting, front splitter with an approved radius for safety, compliant digital instrument cluster, compliant latches and the list of compliant features just goes on. Interior trim quality is an important part of every street car. RCR will be providing as an opton, a fully trimmed production Supercar type interior, where you have a choice of colours and whether you want leather or ultra-suede. Payment is via installments. 50% deposit is required on order. Remaining 50% payment is due when the kit is ready to ship. Click here for the order form.
Yea, figure like $20,000 in engine/transmission and you've still got a car that costs less than a Z06.
God I love vehicles like this. In all honesty when I decide to drop real money on a car it'll be hard to not pick this or one of the other stupid light, uber fast kit cars over a normal production car. I mean you just get sooo much for the money it's insane. PLUS they're usually cooler looking/more exotic than a vette or whatever you'd get for the same money. Faster+Cooler Looking+More Pimpin'=WIN WIN WIN
Hey, I already made a thread on this car: http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=1&fID=1&tID=159347&bottom=0 AND the ACTUAL owner of the company posted in it. Apparently, he's sold 22 kits - that's pretty awesome considering it's really just finished development, and the state of the economy.
Yeah I like this car a lot, still a toss up between this and the GTM, this has a very sleek exterior. What is the weight of the GTM btw?
