Talking Looks like RCRs Handi work

Similar type of aluminum "box" frame and CNC work for this 900 hp AWD LS7 @ $1.6 million Swiss Weber Sports Car.

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

Those are carbon brakes too. Some nice engineering, but I am not feeling the body work. The ringleader needs to farm out the visual design work to someone else

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

Oh fer crying out loud....
It looks like it escaped from the next Batman movie set. Mechanicals are nice but...t Not nice enough for my million plus. Not that I have a mill to drop on any car.

It's a "playstation generation" car. These guys need to learn that sometimes less is more!

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

Horrible shape. Not just bad, horrible. I like the awd with sequential gearbox though, and the carbon brakes. I bet Fran will be able to incorporate these items into a next generation SLC. Maybe using Zr1 brakes and a stock dual-clutch transmission and awd from ??
ALso, forget the twin supercharger mess and just go with N/A 650-700 hp. And forget the multi-fuel tank silliness and the over-the-top computer controls.

The difference between Fran's and this one would be that Fran's would look good, be lighter, be more reliable, and the all-up completed cost would be well under 200K.

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

I've looked at this car 2 or 3 times now and remain convinced that it fell out of an UGLY-TREE and hit every branch on it's way to the ground!

RCR Handi work? Ummm... I don't think so....

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

10 out of 10 for trying something new.... 0 out of 10 for the execution.

I'm with the majority on this one... that isn't a good look.

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

That's really ugly. I would sell it. Put $900K in the market, and build a SLC with the whats left.

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

Ok, here's how I see it.
The engineering and technology and brains behind the design of the chassis is absolutely insane. Twin supercharged LS7? Holy crap dude, that's awesome!! The AWD setup is fantastic, the billet CNC machined parts everywhere is absolutely superb. Then you go & ruin it with that hideous body. Yuck dude. It looks like someone put a big sheet of fiberglass over what was supposed to be a badass body and then failed to vacuum bag it. LOL It's just no bueno. If they'd fix the body, they may have something marketable, but untill then, YUCK! I will take one of the powertrain & AWD setups though. Fran, ya think that setup will fit in an SLC?

wow does this miss the mark design wise. Fran makes it look so easy with things like his new SLC.

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

Where is power going to the rear? I can only guess its down the left side which you can't really see....

Re: Looks like RCRs Handi work

I think I found this car's ugly cousin! I'm still not sure which one's uglier. I'd probably go with the one up top so atleast you can go fast enough that no one would see you.
