Re: RCR's Next car should be.....

Oh crap! Is it really a 124?

That is most definateley NOT what I had in mind. Fran you have created a great technique with the monocoque construction of your cars. However all of your replicas are not really more race cars as opposed to sports cars. What I am trying to pursuade you to do is to produce a replica that is more of a GT/sports car, and not nearly so much of a race car. I don't car if it is really a replica of anything. What I do care about is that it is light, roomy, simple, high tech in terms of strength, brake and suspension quality, and FUN to drive. To continue your 60s sports car homage theme, the 250 GTO naturally springs to mind, although any front engine f-car, a*ston m*artin, or mase*ati would satisfy my criteria. Take one of those classics, modernize it with the construction and packaging you have innovated. All of a sudden a person could have something that has the styling of a classic spors car, but actually drives much better, without trurning it into a modern novocainemobile.
