imull has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Track Day Car

Following a very drunk conversation/argument...

Do you think that there would be a gap in the track day market for a full ground effect track day car. Sort of modern day take on a Can-Am car. Obviously it would need trailering to and from circuits due to its nature. Basically a full on race car

Alternatively a kit car that fits into the Ultima/Noble market but with much more of an emphasis on day to day use combined with the ability to be used as a very high performance track day car and also about 5-8K cheaper

Possibly. I think the Radical does a very good job of giving people downforce, and the Westfield XTR (?) is in the same vein. Which leads onto...

Yep, definately. At the moment, for that sort of performance, you need a minimum of £30k for a Noble, and thats the most practicable one out there!

Lets not forget the Caterham Superlight, 230bhp 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 150mph, and all for a very reasonable £22.250 (self build) or £24.750 (factory build). http://www.caterham.co.uk/showroom/index.htm The best car out there for value for money IMO.

We are going to be making an interesting car soon based on a early 70s style sports car with a steel tubular space frame aly skinned chassis. Easily modified for an engine of your owwn choice. Probably around the 15-20k mark.

Saleen, you're quoting R500 performance for R300 prices - do you work for Caterham Sales ;o)

How much is a 95 Caterham Superlight 2.0l Vauxhall, full race spec, road registered, mint condition worth?

I'd say that the Westfied / Radical have the under 30k market well and truly sewn up
