My "Exo Car" & Introduction

[ICBomber90]

I wanted to introduce myself, I'm a kit builder and I've been following the gestation of the SL-R on different forums over the past few years. Here's a photo of my Exo Car, too bad I had to "ruin" it by putting a body on it :lol:

Seriously, with the way gas prices are going I won't be able to actually drive this thing when I'm done :tantrum: (BTW its a FFR Cobra w/302 +/-300 hp)

I'm a big fan of using a FWD drivetrain and moving it to the mid-ship and building a sports car from it.

Welcome Pat.

I have always liked the sound of the cobra V8. I wonder if you can get a similar sound from a Honda 4 banger?

Whats the rear end look like? we may need more pics =) from what I am seeing tho it looks like a cross between a Locost7 and an Exo. How does the car handle being a front engine? I ended up getting rid of my Trans Am due to handling performance,,,was faster then most things in the straight-aways but throw some turns at it and you would end up in the burm.
