JP,
But isn't your MDA going to cost about the same as the CAV per your post to my earlier message or did I misinterpret the bit about the price being similar to a 911?
It would be interesting to see both the MDA and CAV at Goodwood to compare against the GTDs that we are all familiar with. Unfortunately because the next baby is due around that time (literally - not another 40!) I may unable to go /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Martin,
Not quite £68,000. Nearer £60,000.
But lets look at the spec:
Lightweight MDA Chasis(an evolution of the GTD).
Ali uprightrights all round.
Ohlins shocks with reomte reservoirs(as fitted to the Pagani Zonda, Bentely Le Mans winner etc)
Knock on pin drive Jongbloed wheels, Cast Magnesium centres, spun ali to T6.
Series 6 AP racing brakes, 6 pot callipers, bias adjustable.
SVO Ford Block with Victor Junior heads, Steel Crank, Custom Pistons, Girdle, Windage Tray, H-beam rods, fully sequential fuel injection with Motec M48. Dyno tested in the U.K 450HP and 420ft/lb.
Renault transaxle with Quaiffe internals, Quaiffe LSD.
Weight of car approx 1060kg. Gives about 428BHP/TON.
There are some other tricks that MDA have employed to give a far superior chasis to anything I have seen. That's another story.
In my mind this, the MDA, is value for money. I intend to race the MDA at hill climbs and sprints. Hence the very high spec. I would very interested to see just how much a CAV would cost with these types of parts.
Rick, perhaps you could enlighten us.
