This is the amazing Gardner Douglas rendition of the Lola T70. As a replica it is similar to the Cobra's in terms of component car registration, check the laws in your state. The drivetrain is a new GM LS2 engine with a Kinsler vintage style but modern operating Accel ECU fuel injection. The suspension on this vehicle is very modern rocker suspension and has exceptional handling characteristics. This is the first GD T70 to be brought into the US. It was built by Brammo Motorsports, the manufactuer of the other British phenomena, the Ariel Atom. http://www.arielatom.com/ for details or http://www.brammo.com/ for more specifics. This particular car is 425+ HP and the car weighs 1950 lbs, so the power to weight ratio is outstanding!

yea i like the atom better because of the honda power plant. but this thing must focused more at the track than the street.
i wonder if a setup like this can drown itself in condesation if idled long enough the exhaust sits above the motor i always 'thought' about running exhaust up and out my hood for some reason the water issue always entered my mind
the exhaust doesn't sit above the motor, those are individual throttle bodies (intake), the exhaust exits to the rear.
yea, (chuckling to myself thinking about demo-derby cars! yeehaw!) if you DID run the exhaust out the hood i dont think it would make enough condensaton to drown out the motor. it wouldnt be like having water poured into the exhaust.
