TNcoupe

I registered and got TN plates on a Factory Five Daytona Coupe in 10min at the courthouse.

Dang I gotta get my garage built and the 55 T Bird finished so I can get a 7. That superlight 400 on ebay is callin my name.

Im used to working on stuff all the time. Ive owned Fords my whole life. Right now I have a 64 Fairlane with a 427W in it and building a 1955 T Bird. Also built a Factory Five Daytona Coupe and tracked it along with my 2015 Mustang pretty heavily.

Ok Kitcat, I see where we were getting our wires crossed up. One of the ones for sale in the US is a Busa engine Caterham and 2 of the ones in Canada are Busa engines....I dont even pay attention to the Canadian ones. I wouldnt try to bring one down from Canada, they steering wheel would be sticky from maple syrup and poutine gravy.

Pretty sure it says its titled as a street car and I found an obscure youtube video from 9 years ago of this car being driven on the street in MS. The price he posted includes an aluminum trailer to haul it on if I read it correctly. KITCAT...where are you seeing NEW Caterhams of equal performance for the same price range??

What do you guys know about that SV with the Hyabusa engine in it? Good choice for track days and hill climbs or no?

Too far to drive...plus I can pump my own gas thank you. I'd have to drive past VIR to get there and its the best track Ive ever driven on. If it wasnt 7hrs from home Id run there all the time. Road ATL and Barber are the closest road courses to my house. Not a bad choice in the bunch.

Yeah, I said it....yellow :ack:

Yeah, I saw that one. Would involve a full repaint for me. Yellow is my least favorite color on any car.

I understand the full weather kit but I sure like em with no windshield and would just wear a helmet.

Well the 360R has been pulled from Hemmings, who bought it?

I understand that too. Im currently shopping for my next fun/track car. Cayman S, Evora 400, M2 Competition, Alfa 4c, of Caterham 360R. I can drive most of those in the rain. The one I cant is a true drivers car with no driver aids which I prefer

I would take that challenge. Mine had 440hp, better aero, 13" 6 piston brakes and 255/315 tires and still only weighed around 2100lbs.

I cant understand why they cost so much when you get so little. I want that 360r on Hemmings pretty badly but $45k for a go kart is expensive. I had less than that in my Factory Five Daytona Coupe.

Top speed isnt a big thing for me. How often do we explore the area of 150+mph? VIR on the front stretch and maybe Road ATL going down into 10a, never on the street in TN. Barely a road straight enough to see 150mph. The se7en is probably better suited for the roads around here. Plus if I find a used se7en it would be considerably cheaper than an Evora. More money for slicks and brake pads.

I prefer to have an R model with no carpet. Ive never owned a car without a top so I dont know what its like. Bad thing here in TN is it rains almost everyday during the summer at 3pm.

Yep, still kicking around Caterham or Evora 400. Came here to get info on the Caterhams. Really like a simple car with no driver aids. Traction control to me is knowing how much right pedal it needs.

Hi everyone Im Josh from Chattanooga, TN. Starting to look at Caterhams to purchase next year. Will be completely debt free at 38 years old so I told the wife to be prepared for another car purchase. Ive had multiple sports cars/ fun cars. Built a Factory Five Daytona Coupe 7 years ago and tracked it a few times and put about 7000 street miles on it. Got tired of burning up in it during the summer and folding up to get in the little door opening. Ordered a 2015 Mustang and fitted it with full Steeda suspension for track days and got bored with it cause its so heavy. Im ready to get back to the simplify and add lightness theory. Probably be in the market for a used R300, R400 or 360R next year.
