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

[Fran Hall RCR]

Nope....sorry....:devil:

 

[Ben Whittle]

Any more details on the chassis then?

As of the 1st of April I will be living in Texas

 

[Doc Kaler]

Welcome to Texas Ben!

Hmmm... a 450 HP ~2200lb mid-engine car with a rear trunk the size of a Noble M12 would be really cool daily driver for commute to work and grocery getter as well as short weekend get away.

 

[Brad R.]

So it seems an I-4 is confirmed but a V6 might be an option... would be really neat to see something like Nissan's VQ37VHR or Ford's Duaratec 37 Ti-VCT V6 (from 2011 mustang) tucked in this new super-lite ride!

I figured it out. It's going to be the subie boxer motor. They make great power, and are very, very mod friendly. In stock, you can go up to an sti which is great power. The most cost friendly would be a wrx with a few bolt ons and the boost turned up.

Only thing is... the new Super-lite car will use a production car safety cell along with the 4 banger that comes with that car. While I could be wrong, I assume the donor car's motor will have be in the rear.

My best guess is that it'll be a Toyota MR2/MR-S.

Hopefully they get a V6 to fit in there as well...

 

[Mark Hamstra]

Uhhh, guys... there's no motor mystery.

 

[Ben Whittle]

Uhhh, guys... there's no motor mystery.

About the 4-pot sure....

Thanks Doc! Not long now! Flight is booked!

 

[Brad R.]

Uhhh, guys... there's no motor mystery.

Thank you for clearing that up!

 

[Josh]

Ah, didn't see that. I had an eclipse gsx....it's a good engine. The turbo went on mine eventually towards the end.

 

[Ben Whittle]

RCR's next car should....NOT be a Mercedes 300 SL apparently....

Hmmm. On April first you'll be moving to Texas?

That's their biggest holiday down there.

Wow, I have to say this new coupe is very nice looking. It's definitely better looking than what I've seen from FFR's 818 so far. I'm very interested to see how this develops.

Comparing the new Superlite to the 818 is like comparing Don Perion to a box of wine.


Just sayin'...

 

[Ben Whittle]

Ah they're going to start flooding over here since they finally discovered it on the FFR forum... lets just hope we won't see the same level of mentality that you get in the 818 section but I think that's wishful thinking.

That being said, it's all publicity for Fran/RCR so it's not all bad

 

[Justin]

It's just like the exocar forum. Everyone wants the best car possible for the cheapest price. And everyone dreams of ways to build them, but never actually invest.



Quality doesn't come cheap! But it's definitely worth it!

 

[TPlociniak]

Very excited about the new superlite concept, have been planning on an SL-R build next year but this concept has me reconsidering
