Yeah those are sexy. You take the entire c5 z06 suspension, a Porsche gt3 transmission, and an LSx based powerplant and have a 2,600lb supercar

more like 2200-2300lbs. They are pretty damn cool and the only kit cars (especially in this price range) that has actually been through some wind tunnel testing.

It has a LSX with a H/C setup. Was built for SEMA and now the finishing tune ect so the owner can drive it.Definitely a better car than the Cobra's.

Did you get a chance to really drive it at all? I'de like to hear how the handling/steering feels.

I would be surprised if it didnt handle amazingly well when you can fit 345s on it

Haven't got it running 100% yet. I will street tune it then off to the dyno. Don't like pushing cars like this just incase something happens. I love the electronic power steering.

What car did the electric power steering come out of?

The ls1 rx7 guys have been looking for an electric ps pump for a while now.

Is it built for $80k or is that the cost?

Does it meet all safety standards and inspection, etc??
