How about a replica or kitcar of a Porsche 550 ? Super light, simple, and the powertrain can be had for next to nothing. I think an old Bug would make a great donor car for most of mechanical bits you'd need, and there are endless suppliers offering performance parts for old bug engines.
That would be the cheaper way to go. Sourcing an old 550 engine with gear driven cams and roller bearings might mess up the budget a bit. lol Ed 300E On 21 March 2010 14:17, Alex Chamberlain <apchamberl...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 12:14 PM, OK Don <okd...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have thought about either a Cobra or Ford GT, then I ran across the > > Westfield XI recently --- > > > > http://www.kokopelliauto.com/priceing.html > > http://www.manikllc.com/ > > > http://www.insideline.com/westfield/xi/2007/full-test-2007-westfield-xi.html > > > > I may just be ignorant of Lotuses, but I don't see why that's worth > building when there are plenty of Lotus Seven replicas around to be > built, with a gazillion times the power-to-weight ratio of that one. > > Alex > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
