That's not a bad price at all. Maybe a grand total of 60k for a home built super-car. I've always wondered if these things were legal to drive on the road, too.. And not just on the track.

Been looking an reading the superlite for awhile now. No wheels included as far as I know. It has a very spacious engine bay and it was meant so that you can stick anything you want in it whether it be a 4cyl. or a Dodge Viper V10 and mated to trannys such as the porsche G50 or more recently fitted the Ford GT tranny. Basically when you do your purchase you tell them what you are putting in there and they set it up for you. From what I have heard it sounds more like they actually build the cars in house for you for the most part, which to me makes the price that much more of a deal.

Any motor would actually work Lexus, Ford, Chev it is designed to be very flexible.
Any gearbox also would work. I have heard the customers so far seem to favor the LS7 / Ford GT40 box.
T56 would not work easily.

Also a very cool car but this one you are building completely on your own and this includes finishing all the body panels to get it all to fit up right. On top of that $20k you have to add in the cost of a donor C5 vette for all the extra parts needed but I believe it can still be done cheaper than the Superlite....its just personal preference.

Looks cool...but if I were to go that route...I would buy from Factory 5 Racing, due to the fact that they are reputedly the best in the Biz...
