they *say* it's under construction, but that doesn't stop the site existing

clicky

is it just me, or is anyone else rather undrewhelmed by the stats of the car?

0-60 4.8 secs.
12.9 sec 1/4 mile.

fair enough the 153 mph top speed is cool, but 253bhp in a lightweight race car should be doing better than that. Or is 1960 lbs not that light? Whats that in kg (s'all gone metric now you know)

Not that light!
Terrapin with blown engine is 650lbs

yeah, will let it off then. Is kind of a contradiction in terms then isnt it.

What was it before the engine blew up..
I can only see a red page under construction, did I miss anything.
Just found your clicky link so I see I didn't miss that much. Where is it street legal?. It's got nothing covering the wheels and tyres and no indicators.

Not only are the specs crap but it looks like one of those kiddy go karts you see at the seaside

The dials look a little funky though

but as you all so rightly pointed out - yeuk!

What do you expect, its american. Of course, it is never gonna look as good as a nice locost.

Open wheelers are legal in the states, look at all the rods.

But it's 'kin ugly
