Benner Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Was going down 23 South from Delaware. Was on a trailer being pulled. Looked like a pretty sick car. $45k for a complete car minus engine/trans/ecu. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/110607_slc_joliet_lowrez_0002_zpscdfd67dd.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've been talking about these things for months on here any time a home built is brought up. You can have one completed for $70k, according to the build forums, if you don't go to crazy on the engine and trans combo. Stacy David was building one on Gearz too. They're built in Detroit and also make some pretty nice replicar's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 They also make some other cool cars, which I will now turn this thread into a giant photobomb...

Mallard Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 And of course the SL-C. (They also make a really nice GT 40 replica and have done several one - off cars as well, including a Porsche 962) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_25093214730218.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_25080528725580.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24930956613748.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24923618784161.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24664352055989.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24656402989826.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24581593663654.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24566625005207.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24553439946613.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24362839756962.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24311691655155.jpeg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/mallard1055/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_24252208714482.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Any idea on how much it weighs? I wonder if this would make a decent turbo LSx chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 It obviously depends heavily on the engine used in the build and how finished the interior is, but they state that a car with a Subaru flat 4 would weigh 2000 lbs, while a LS V8 car with full interior, sound insulation, and electronics would be about 2450 lbs. The most common engine used is the LS V8 (some turbo or supercharged), but a ton of different engines have been used, ranging from Ford mod motors, Hemi's, Ferrari V8, Maserati, Audi, 4 rotor, etc. A car with an LS7, full interior, and Ford GT transaxle went 10.4 at 132 mph in the quarter, 0-60 in the 3.2 sec range, and that transaxle is geared high enough for 257mph. In it's 4th race weekend an SL-C won the NASA Super Unlimited National Championship, and since then cars have been running NASA events, 25 Hours of Thunderhill (I think they had pole last year), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 That thing is awesome. These types of cars are really growing on me. I like how it is different and you can pick your engine/trans etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how it is different and you can pick your engine/trans etc. You can pick the transaxle, but you still have limited choices. You could spend $5k to $20k+ on the trans alone, depending on how crazy you go. Still, there are stories of people completing cars for $65-70k when on a 'budget.'
