that thing is just plain ugly, lol. the gold paint is out of place on the car imo and the automatic trans is not at all desireable. nice to see a rotary in in though. looks to be an S4 or S5 engine.

Wow. I'm blind. I can't see. Last time I saw a paint job like that the car was featured in a parade with a Shriner behind a small wheel.

>> Sounds like an Indy car @ 3000 rpm

Seriously doubt it.

But yes, I enjoy seeing such homage to the tremendous attributes of the RE. Thanks for posting.

that HP to weight ratio is wrong. Its 10:100 hp to weight. if it was 2000 hp and 200 pounds it would make 10:1. I respect the builder for making his dream car. but not my cup of tea. I think its the color.

I was wrong too it 1:10 power to weight. thats been bugging me all day. I forgot to simplify it last night.

Ditch the auto trans, and paint it. I could dig that car. I'm not going to spend no 11 G's on that thing though.

Nice try on the porsche plug. The newest turbo's will do 40mph to 60mph in 1 second flat.

shifter

"Short precise Gene Berg shifter with new clutch and flywheel" does not = automatic.

I agree on the color, although the photos may be distorting the look somewhat.
My choice of kit cars would be the Dino Ferrari replica in "Lemon Twist" yellow.
