Cars can be fun!
 
Mate came round in this earlier

GKD Legend6
It's powered by a straight 6 M3 engine and been dyno'd at 338 BHP. It only weighs 640kg wet:mad:

Lovely matched length headers

Programmable Stack race dash

Fully adjustable racelogic traction control

Best of all it's got a two HD camera set up with full datalogging. Allhardwired with a hard drive in the glove box. Flick a switch on the dash and the red LED on the left above the TC lets you know its recording.
Lovingly built by one bloke in his garage at home!
Sweet baby Jesus it's quick, I wouldn't stand a chance against it on my bike. I had a full on Clarkson melted face round the twisties!
I want one :smt088

Only had a car out on track twice, once was a caterham super 7, so have some idea of what it could do, on the other hand, going down the motorway to get there was horrible, it falls into the trike band for me, the downsides of both a car and a bike, still nice build though.

Cheers Mark.

If I were to get a car it'd have to be something like this! Awesome.

The only cars I'd truly and very willingly spend money on are

I don't really like the Sloped front grill on the RS2000's. Although the engine would of course be swapped out with an RS2000 engine or a larger ltr Pinto engine.

A guy who did some welding for me on a escort van of mine in 2006 had transplanted 2 litre turbo cosworth engines out of the sierras into MK2 shells on a few occasions, apparently, they went quite well :)
