It's been quite a while since I last posted and thought adding a bit to such an old Post would be befitting. In 2012, I was doing research on the SL-C, as many others had (and still are) done. What a great group of guys you find here. Any questions will yield top notch answers very quickly. For me, life happened and time became a luxury I did not find often enough to pursue my initial interest here. With few more kids and a relatively new marketing job, my project dream needed to be put on hold and I had to go the easy way with an LP 560. At the time, it cost was comparable to what the SL-C would have cost, less the build time and costom touches. As the occasional daily driver and weekend rally car, it was ok. But it was just one of hundreds of identical cars.
...and I did not build it. My main draw to the SL-C was the idea that no two are exactly the same and you get out of it, exactly what you put in. I did get some great ideas as to what I did want in a car and knew there was only one way to get it. So here I am, once again, making notes for my immanent build. Just as an added thought; I have talked with hundreds of "kit" builders and was part of the "super car" world, even though mine was the poor man's version and can honestly say that I would rather build my own, in my own way, than ever go production again. SL-C's top the list with the many options, features, proven reliability and performance, technical investment, quality and just about anything else I could think of.
No matter your budget, available time to be involved, skill level or whatever, you can't go wrong building what you want how you want it. This forum is a gold mine of actual hands on knowledge. Use it up, that's what it's here for. Do your homework, get your research done and we'll see you back here soon enough.
That's my two-bits for now.
PS. AllanSLC, I would like to pick your brain in the near future.
