Yeah… I been looking at thatthem since I was at your shop… purely awesome… Fran at RCR said thats probably his next replicar… saw him post it a few days ago. Not that you want that… just news. Adam, looking forward to the new build, if we do one…but the M3 is looking great… continue on! ---

Why dont you buy a Kit car and drop a LS1, LS6 or LS7 (\<\< Ballin) into it… last year at lake george I talked to a guy for a good hour about his kit car… It was a LS2 twin turbo…car was sick. Rear engine mounted and insane room for some big ass turbos…he said all in all, for the whole build including the car itself it cost him about $70K If you wanna be different, thats what I would do. ---

For some reason the only word that comes to mind when looking at the second picture of the car is… Sinister. ---

Thats what the thread is about…none of these cars come with a powerplant… Its hard to pass on a quality , say Porsche, for a hand assembled car… but so much more gratifying and unique. I’ll be looking now that the Atom and I are finally over each other. We had love, but she didnt put out the way I demand. 🙂 ---

Jason, man up ![http://images.cardomain.net/sites/cardomain/features/john/ariel-500.gif](http://images.cardomain.net/sites/cardomain/features/john/ariel-500.gif) 1000hp per Ton.

Not sure what kit car you guys are talking about… But with your budget it seems your only problem is finding something you like and can keep.
