  1. You definitely have my interest ... except for that whole "no reverse" thing. What would I be looking at to get that remedied? We can chat off this thread if you'd like. You can email me at: osposhea@hotmail.com Thanks much, Robert
  2. I have a sport bike that produces about 750 hp per ton and about 500 lb/ft of torque per ton. Too much power is just about right. Assuming the pilot uses his head and knows when to use it all and when not to ... all is well in the world. A 1400 lb car with 500 hp and 400-500 lb/ft sounds pretty damn fun to me. As long as you're not an idiot standing on the gas all the time ... the power is on tap when you want it ... and when you don't ... judicious application of throttle keeps things civil. :hurray:
  3. Sooo ... sounds like the LS, trans and rear would not fit ...??? A couple reasons I'm interested in that option is that I have a local source that has a one that I can pick up for $2,000. 2nd reason is lots of power in a compact, lightweight, reliable N/A package.
  4. Oh ... and thanks much everyone for your input. Seems like a very helpful and friendly community here. Hope to join the family soon.
  5. What do you think I'd be looking at for cost with something like this? I'm not mechanically inclined so I am going to have to elicit some help with whatever I decide to do. I do have resources I can tap, but perhaps not for all the angles. For some of the work, I may likely need to hit up the local hot rod shop.
  6. Yeah.... I hear ya ... thanks for the reminder. I'm definitely putting emphasis on the "relatively" inexpensively. That's the real catch and what I'm trying to work out. I sooo badly want to join the 7 replica club. Just gotta figure out my best angle to do that and get what I really want without breaking the bank.
  7. Thanks ... I'm out for a weekend hooligan and autocross car. Really, really would like that 1 to 5 hp to weight ratio.
  8. Am very interested in this car. Everything sounds great to me except the motor. If I buy a 7 I want more juice. I'd be shooting for minimum 300 hp and 250 or so lb/ft. Is engine swap an option in the Superformance? Would an LS1/LS2/LS3 fit? Thanks in advance for any info. If I can do an engine swap relatively inexpensively, I'd be in. Otherwise, I think I'd have to wait for a good Brunton in my price range.
