I wanted to share this with other here who are automotive enthusiasts.

Here is a man who is seeing his dream materialize literally

went from this:



to:

now:


Final specs he is shooting for (this will be a track only car with 0 plans to make it street legal)

Engine: 1300cc, 4cyl, 180-350hp, AWD. Weight: 700lb 0-60: under 3.0sec Top Speed: 160mph

hp rating varys because it will depend on if he turbo charges the engine or not

b00gers

sounds like a big go-kart

antarius

Yeah, dunno what's so special about that.

Ohwell.

DakarM

nothing special.

just that one man dream of designing his track/race car from the ground up from the initial idea to sketch, cad, etc coming to reality is all.

but you are right, at this point it's nothing special

antarius

Yeah, I'm sure he's proud of himself... as he should be.

DakarM

btw did I mention that he is doing everything on his own? no external funding?

and all this in less than 2 years.

RB

thats a wide range of HP numbers...what engine is he going to be using? A miata engine? Or is he fabricating his own? :eek3:

AcuraFanatic

That's awesome.

DakarM

Hayabusa. which puts out 180hp stock

it's also 4wheels drive and has a very elaborate under carriage

RB

Ahh I should have figured it would be something small, ie a motorcycle engine. That undercarriage reminds me of that Lexus commercial where they turn it upside down in the wind tunnel h:
