Seen it.

It would be perfect with a windshield.

 

[steven89]

[PROJECT N00b]

oooh, you can make a windsheild for it...and then make LOTS of money.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

[Supracentral]

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds... That's nutty.

 

[Kai]

Bugatti Veyron will do it in 2.5 secs...then again, you're paying an extra £820,000 for the privilege

It's hard to do that gently!

That car is sick. It makes me want one to drive in the summer months.

May sound dumb, but I wonder what kind of MPG it gets.

Overall, that is an awesome little car.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

oooh the Ariel. hah it is awesome. and they do make a windshield option from the factory.. well shop... well the 3 people that make it lol. i remember overhearing some ferrari guys talk about this at mosport and were wondering if it could take their 360's. i say it could

It's probably pretty good, cause it doesnt weigh anything.

 

[annoyingrob]

That thing looks FUN!

Aren't they putting ecotec engines into them here in North America?

 

[Ma70.Ent]

I definitely don't like it. It's fast, but thats all it does for me.

 

[Adjuster]

Yep, the NorthAmerica ones get GM Ecotecs with blowers.


Now, skip the belt driven pressure and give me the Ecotec from the Turbo Solstice.. and about 450hp...

Then the wider rear tires, larger brakes and other stuff that slightly more weight car would have to deal with, and BOOM goes all your conceptions of what fast is. (Or was?)

Figure 1800lbs and 450rwhp... it would be a sub 10 second quarter mile car that could out corner a superbike, and should have a top end like nothing else on the road. (Untill areo drag took over and slowed you down, or you run out of rpm.)

My problem is I'd be adding wings, undertrays and other stuff to keep it stuck to the road...

I have a 06 FZ1, and it's pretty fast, but I belive this would be faster by a bit...

And I also have a nice 450rwhp MK3, and it's fast, but this would be faster by a bunch

 

[The Weather Man]

Whats scary is that hes driven jsut about every car. Ferrari's, everything.

And he said this has the MOST enjoyment.

"i have never ever driven anything that accelerates so fast!!!"

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

 

[supradan22]

There being made in America with the k20 I'd rather have a turbo one then a blown one but either way there sweet.

EDIT never mind got the email to build them and there with the gay ecotech motor I wonder how much it would cost to purchase it with out the motor and tranny.

There is a company in California refitting these with an electric engine - they are even faster. BTW, to make your Supra perform at the same acceleration levels - never mind handling issues - you would need upwards of 950 bhp.

This thing outperformed every supercar they have ever test driven with one exception - the Enzo, and at literally a fraction of the cost.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

A fraction of the car as well, but a moot point imo.

Yea, I could get Theresa with her hair done in an evening gown into an Enzo. I doubt I'd take her out to dinner in that thing.

Then again, she's probably say the hell with dinner, move over, she's driving..
