The ultimate v8?

[Guest]

It's pricey - 30k - but oh boy.
You want a completely mad lotus 7 - then look at this puppy...

Way cool!

I could see one of those in my Alfa - hehehehehe.

I love small displacement V-8s. Boy do they sing!

Just think of the weight savings swapping that into your LBC of choice. Take my TR6 - 475lbs to 200lbs.

Why that's (just) more than me as the difference!!

OOOOKKKKKKK!!! HUMMMMMMMM just 10,000 rpm? I was looking for at least 12. Oh well, it will have to do.

What's the curb weight of the Caterham 7's? Just think if you had a Spit or a Midget with a blown engine. Do you think the frame would handle 400 hp?

I know the CSR is sub 1300lbs.

I want one of those!

Oh, wait! Make that THREE.

That's REALLY an elegant design.

Lotus, Diesela and the B.
Don't you need a spare?

Was thinkin' more the Alfa and the TWO Loti... That diesel lump will go on for a good long time yet.

If they crammed one into a Seven chassis I just KNOW it'd fit into the "nice big" engine bays of the Elans... :smirk:

I suspect it'd tear the Alfa in two on first clutch release, then I'd HAVE a spare. :laugh:
