Re: Pilgrimage

The handling issue is something that is of great interest to me and seems to be an issue for any replica....but gotta remember these are replica's...not production cars and not fully sorted out race cars...well not yet.

The things I like about the RCR's are:

1. Very tunable....due to the construction/design of the front mounts, I should be able to adjust travel and height, caster, camber, and toe is there too... If you use a G50 or 930...then you have a great foundation to bulid a upon.

2. Chassis is very stiff....add the six point cage and NASCAR bars....and its basically a shifter Kart with IRS.... Given the weight of the car, braking and springs will need to be sorted out, but its not like I am trying to get a 2.5 ton truck to do a road course.

Ulitmately, I see a great looking unique platform that is well engineered, but needs to be sorted out for personal tastes...what I like is that it has almost everything I need (note the "I" vice the everyone) and what isn't can be added....it just might turn out to be a dragster that corners fairly well...but that ain't a bad thing....

No, I don't expect to beat my NSX around a corner...the NSX can be a beast if driven correctly on a road course....but if you use a 500hp engine with a nice flat torque setup in a RCR, I'll bet it would out pull my NSX everyday to Sunday and twice on Tuesday....

And you've gotta like the lines of the cars...who else is making affordable well engineered replicas of 3B T70 Coupe's and P4's?

Just my IMHO.
