Putting it all together.
This is what I have gleaned from 2 threads on this forum as well as Superlites news and facebook page and trying to chase facts all over the internet for the last 2 days since I found out about this on the FF forum of all places LOL.
Brand - Superlite
Name TBD (right now called the GTA)
2 seat coupe
Mid engine - Transverse mounted
Mitsubishi 4g63 4 cylinder
possible V-6 platform
Auto or manual trans
$1500-4000 donor
Factory safety cell, HVAC, seals, doors, interior etc...
103" wheelbase
72" wide
Height of a 993 Porsche
Superlite Billet suspension
Small trunk in rear
Performance better than a current Porsche 911
I'd assume Fran, using an OEM center section as the base of this car, would want to use a base platform that has tons of aftermarket goodies available to tweak the interior to our hearts desire.
The Mitsubishi 4g63 engine has huge potential and plenty of aftermarket parts available and is a solid engine.
A V-6 option too.. I would assume the 3.0 SOHC Mitsubishi V-6, had this engine in a couple cars and loved it.
This project is screaming 1995 - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse / Eagle Talon donor.
I like it. Modern exotic sports car styling, every Tom Dick and Harry won't have one... but will want one, OEM fit and finish interior, great handling, affordable to own and maintain and 30+ mpg when you keep your foot out of it, automatic trans option in a mid engine ride for a crippled up old gearhead like me when I can't drive a manual anymore.
Bonus... It's from a respected and trusted builder with a reputation of putting out some really nice stuff too.
Game on. I like it and I like it a lot.
Hmmmmm...... 3.0 twin turbo V-6, Paddle shift auto, Black leather interior with dark red / burgundy accents and stitching, HOK Kandy Brandywine with Satin black accents.... Droooooool
I've got my sights on this one:rifle:
