This has GOT to be fun to drive! LS motor with injection and a light body (is that a body?)
I'm not very experienced with posting pics to message boards - copy and paste if it doesn't work.

Heavy yeah, 335 rear tire 315 front, plenty of grip, insta torque, and ls engines are about a head and cam change from approximatly 500hp, and he's talking twin turbo's.......less than 4:1 power to weight, that would easily run down bikes with turbo's attached to it. and depending on the suspension set up it might even out corner them.
Cars actually can out corner bikes, it's the braking into and accelerating out of the turns where the bike has the advantage, not all bikes of course but you know what I mean.
I approve.

Just think of it as an American Elise with twice the power.

Ho lee crap. Another project.
Ummmm...can I have 1/2 of this please 
lol...seriously, what would it take to get that car on the streets? Front fenders? some form of emissions control? I see headlights, blinkers and mirrors, cant see the back, but Im assuming all the goodies are there too.

"I have put 560 miles on the car just messing around on the street, but have to had it to the track yet"
Must be street legal. Would be a hoot to drive. Lots of grunt makes me a happy boy. Jensenman, when you want to start on that one?
I read through the whole thread, the builder of the car is the owner of the company that built the intake. That's one hell of a test-bed!
I would want to hear it run.. that intake must sound great
I would so love to get ITBs on the Cobra... but no way will that ever happen in California, hahaha.
guys seriously wow.
no really wow.
do I need to tell you, wow?
come on...now...wow.
That is insane... I love how he built the car... THEN asks for help about autocross classifications...
Theres builders, and then there are drivers. I am guess hes a builder... 
So that's what a C5 based Locost looks like.
Seen it in person at a show, but not run. It is a beast just sitting there. Very cool.

Nope, cars will outbrake bikes as well.
That thing is awesome! I'm going to have to pull the thread up when I get home.

Yeah, go watch the top gear Atom vid. The Atom flies by the bike under braking
