I must admit, I've heard some interesting rumours of late along this subject, not sure I want to post what I've heard and stir things up
too much though

I know it's been dubbed the 'gt2' by many who've talked about it....
.....it's rumoured to be slightly larger than a gt1 and be based around car engines.....
but you didn't hear that from me

New MK!
Some of you must read Which Kit?
If so you will have read about the new AGM WLR car. You will also have noticed where the chassis of the car came from!

Very nice looking car.....

It looks shockingly shite with an enclosed roof on it...
Personal opinion of course, but I'm definitely right...
Cock off or cock on. You choose.

Touche Hippy.
There's something of the 1970's about the side profile.
Dissapointed it's a Cosworth motor in it though. I thought most of these were overpriced and were now defunct. I was expecting something light
and clever.
Perhaps a 998cc supercharged 2 stroke diesel flat 12?

the headlight at least are minted! and the roof reminds me a bit of a Z3M roadster, with the funny arse end... gorgeous.

The cosworth engine is an 'option' you can fit whatever takes your fancy. Even a bike engine if your that way inclined.
I think a nice Honda VTEC unit would be ideal IMHO.

But that's DEFINATELY not the new MK car!
The engines in the wrong place for a start.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Styling?
Am I right in guessing that this car will have a LMP-style body and a roof? If so, then thats EXACTLY what I've been looking for GT1-type
styling with a roof (no I don't care how hard it is to get in and out of). I guess I'm somewhat of a high-speed junkie compared to you
English-types, but I like good aerodynamics, since thats the only way these low-HP cars are going to reach high speeds compared with a heavier high HP
car. In the US it seems like 800HP Supras, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. are everywhere.
Mid-engine is also nice, as it means that broken driveshafts (I plan on having unnecisarly large amounts of power) won't cut off anyone's
legs.
