Well the thing is, is that even with just the LS7 that car will be almost out of control, if not completely. They are rediculous with the 250 hp 4 cyl motors that come in them from the factory i cant imagine what it will be like with 500 hp. Traction will be a huge issue, probably have to run F1 tires on the back just to keep it planted...dont get me wrong....wouldnt be much of a project if i wasnt gonna modify it and i am more of a Turbo man than NA or S/c. Id probably do a big single setup if anything, that way atleast i could be moving at a decent speed before it spools and have to possiblility of NOT losing all the traction. I was just thinking about it and i would probably have to use a TALL rear gear. Either way i think that car would be sick with a V8.

I like the Caterham because it doesnt look like a sports car....it has that old british touring car look......i love it. The GTM still had a normal supercar shell and your enclosed.....imo two completely differnt designs and markets


well i dont really have the money yet either but we can dream.....i should be able to do it withing the next 3 years though.
