    are there stringent requirements on building your own road car?

    i mean obviously there are, but is it possible? or IMPOSSIBLE?

    i just love working on the Z, but there's so much seemingly unnecessary crapola... building your own lightweight road and track weapon without unnecessary things like aircon etc would give me the ultimate buzz just knowing that you assembled every little piece

    i know it's not cheap... but... for example, the ultimate GTR holds the world record for production car from 0-100mph-0 and the ferrari enzo is second place...

    mmm

    nice but think I still prefer the look of the GT40 and kits seem to be cheaper. I just gotta wait for the new version which I might fit into. :)

    clicky oh and a pretty good read of someones GT40 build: clacky

    although after looking into it some more, it may not be cheaper than the ultima, something like $18k for chassis and body but there's a whole lot more needed of course :) actually I read that these guys built an ultima GTR as well but couldn't find anymore detail on it.

    I'd probably wait and see if they're gonna do the new version with the central fuel tank and extra height. oh and I guess I'd wait til I can afford it too haha.

    One thing I found a bit weird is that both this company and Supercars in Malaga build chassis with square or rectangular steel, you'd think it'd be lighter and stronger with round tubing?
