I really want one. But only if it’s street legal.

That way, I can drive it to work and have everyone gawk at it and say, “What the h@!l is that!?!”

End User, you’re an idiot. Racing, be it hobby or professional is extremely expensive. People don’t have racing as a hobby because ‘they couldn’t make it’; it’s more like they can’t afford it.

Spawning a bunch of kids to cart around in a heavy G8 is putting a great strain on the planet. We can do a lot more to save the planet than all Prius drivers if us single guys would simply forgo having kids, and instead buy Superlight R550s or Ariel Atoms and spend our Saturdays at the track. The track with turns that goes in a loop, not the straight one that ends after 1/4 mile. Come on, who’s with me? : )

The Superlight R500 is not going to impress Luddites who rate a car on how fast it goes in a straight line. Driving fast in a straight line is not a real endeavor. Relishing a challenging circuit with its twists and turns is what it is all about. The R500 is for those who value the art of driving a car well. I am referring to real drivers who shift their own gears while priding themselves in the art of heal and toe. 400 HP monstrosities that can carry a family of 5 are for delusional family men who never made it as true competitors on the track.

Why, because it will shame your 400horsess in every way, including off the line and prob getting out enough to stay ahead in the 1/4 as well. Plus the handling will be nuts and prob tuneable for every track condition, know the shocks are but I’ll bet the suspension and steering can be tweaked to get the most out of the track that day. sweet ride for being a track toy or brand new pavement only car.
