oh these arent just concepts they are up for limited production. so yeah for between 80-100k australian depending on specification you could own an LS1 powered 1tone machine. and the elfin is road registerable. i think they are only making a few but yeah im sure if you want it you could organise something with the people from elfin LS1 powered go-cart YES PLEASEEEEE.

OH P.S. if your really interested you should try and contact elfin i guess... these are ment to be club day racers. but im sure they would send some state side especially since they are custom order cars.

Lets see a mildly modded LS1 with 450 hp and 1900 pounds!! That is what I call a power to weight ratio! That is 475 hp per ton! A Z06 Corvette has 251 horsepower per ton. Hell an Enzo Ferrari only has 435 horsepower per ton! That should be a quick little car. Lets hope Holden/GM brings a few stateside.

I love the way those two looks.....also love the power. However it could always have more (imagine a LS2 with twin turbo). Those things are already running 3.4secs. With the LS2 and TT I would think that a 2sec would be easy.

Reminds me a lot of the prowler, except a hell of a lot better. That and it seems to me that Holden has the common sense to put in a V8 and a manual tranny. Something that Lutz didn't have the foresight to do...
