RCR's Next car should be.....
- Thread starter Big-Foot
- Start date
The BAC Mono is pretty cool, but not $150k cool. I'd rather have a Nemesis AND a well built SLC for that price.
An aerodynamic skin/cover for the nemesis would be nice (clean up all those pesky holes)... not to mention it would bump up the sexy.
See the Cadillac LMP thread in this section.
pure race car, Fran says 3" ground clearance max.
This goes back about 20 years, but for some of the Chicago guys they may know. There was a guy that use to come to Fluky's in Niles, IL that had a complete custom car he did with a Fiero cabin. He mounted a 350 with a th350/400 longitudinally mid engine. the wheelbase looked way stretched but it was creative and it was a one off that he and his brother did. I was in college at the time but never did see the car again since the car show scene got killed there. There was no driveshaft, trans connected directly to the rear end.
ooohhh, nice!
I always liked the clean lines of this vehicle... since it is mid-engined, I wonder how difficult it would be for Fran and company to develop? (smiles)

Sbarro Lola T70 (1969) -- just a different front clip for the RCR-70?

Its just time and money.......
We have done quite a few one offs and I have learned from my mistakes over the years....if you get my drift...

I think Fran is on the right track with the GTA,
I think a mix of the GTA and SLC might really be the winning combo, what I mean is
- Original Design
- All creature comforts (including power windows)
- V8 Mid engine platform
Something that would truly compete with the Lambo's, Ferrari's, Pagani's and Konegsegegigiisisisisigigeegs.
The GTM failed at this in my opinion, Yes, it looks more like an production product that belongs on the street, but the quality is very questionable and some aren't too thrilled about the design.
This is all opinion, but I think it wouldn't be that expensive to do, here's why
The SLC is already a great chassis, along with suspension. So the only things that would have to be created are:
- New Body Design
- Windows/creature comforts
- New Interior with ablity to put in today's equipment (SatNav, Stereo,, ect ect)
