deaffreeflyer 0 #26 February 17, 2003 Caterham Super 7 is my dream car. It's so basic, pure british race car and very powerful. It only weight about 450kg and 1.8 litre with 230bph! That's more powerful than Ferrari! Cos weight to power raito - 550bph per tonne! I drove it once and it's so awesome! I love it so much! http://www.caterham.co.uk/ http://www.caterham.co.uk/showroom/sevens/superlight.htm This article come from Caterham.co.uk's News:- The Caterham Superlight R500 has broken the world road car record for speeding from standing to 100mph and then back to standing, completing the test in an astounding 11.44 seconds. The previous record time of 11.50 seconds had been set in 1999, in a MacLaren F1 LM car, specifically shod in bespoke race tyres. The 0-100-0 exercise, designed to separate the men from the boys when it comes to fast cars, was conducted a fortnight ago at Bruntingthorpe airfield. It was part of a series of tests conducted annually by the editorial team from Autocar Magazine. Test co-ordinator, Steve Sutcliffe commented: 'In our experience 0-100-0 is the defining test of what is - and what isn't - a genuinely rapid road car. Ideally your entrant will be light, very powerful, have great traction, a snappy gear change, well laid-out pedals and, most importantly of all maybe, a massive - and friendly to use- set of stoppers. 'The Caterham R500 is the greatest expression of straight-line speed merged with awesome braking ability.' Overall, the R500 finished third in the test, beaten only by two non-road going race-prep'd cars the Jaguar R3 Formula 1 car and a 477bhp Gould Cosworth Hillclimb car. Amongst the considerable scalps claimed by the British sportscar maker were the Pagani C12 S (11.84 seconds), the Porsche 911 Turbo (13.02 seconds) and the Lamborghini Murcielago (13.90 seconds). Caterham's Managing Director, Simon Nearn, was delighted with the result: 'When we created the R500, we spared nothing in our determination to reduce weight and then packed all the performance into it we could. We designed it specifically to go fast and stop fast. I am not surprised we finished top of the pile!' The complete test results are in the 25 September edition of Autocar. The Caterham Superlight R500 is priced at £36,200. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TB99 0 #28 February 17, 2003 Quote G.M. concept car for 2004-2005, it will be the C-6 model, pretty doggone sharp. see attached jpeg image. The new C6's are going to be awesome, but that's not anywhere near what it's going to look like. There's a guy who has all the C6 info back on the other site (only gives us a little bit of info tho) and he said that none of the car magazine pics that keep getting published look right. The C6 is going to have a LOT of horses tho ... and the C6 Z06 that comes out in probably 2006 model is going to kick some serious butt ... by then, maybe I can afford one Wishfull thinking ... lol Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
