The Ultimate Cone Killer

Ray from NJ · September 16th, 2003, 10:04 PM

Weighs only 1100 pounds!
Mostly carbon fiber and magnesium.
0-60 in 3.4 seconds!

A buddy of mine has one and is the "King Cone Killer" in New Jersey.
Spends his weekends at the Giants Stadium parking lot.
Smokes everything.

They're great, but kinda hard to drive come wintertime...

I'd own one, if I could have two cars at the moment.

Well...maybe not. It would either be a Caterham or Ultima GTR...can't decide between the brit kit cars. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've driven one of those things at TWS. Fugly and downright embarrassing to be seen in, but they do handle nicely. A pipe, a tweed cap and a scarf are required gear.

Looks like a street legal go-cart to me Seriously. Paint some black stripes on it and we could have a 'mini-me" for zipping through the neighborhood

Hideously ugly. A shame, because they are SO light.

I think it's pretty.............................ugly. looks like a VW thing that was run over by a steam roller.

I've actually seen a T-Rex up close, and it's not that bad. Don't know if I would buy one, but I wouldn't mind having one for a day or so. 150 MPH, 6" off the ground would be a rush.

**Whitebeard** · September 17th, 2003, 01:21 AM

Sweet, wonder what gas mileage

**RockStar** · September 17th, 2003, 01:24 AM

It's powered by a kawasaki motorcycle engine. Probably decent mileage.

You have a Viper don't you? I don't think I'm more than 6 inches off the ground and at 185 it is indeed a rush (or so I've heard [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) Go 150 all the time (or someone does, I think)

I want one, need to get price for here in US.

I know you guys hate to hear this... And I almost don't want to say it.... But I have beat at least one of these buggers through the cones before.

So here you are, driving this stupid looking car all ove the place with your scarf and hat... With one justification: You can whip everyone at an autocross.... Then you show up only to become bested by an old c5. [img]/images/graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

It'd be different without all that car surrounding you.
