    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.

    Rear suspension: GD cast alloy uprights using upper wishbones and rocking lower wishbones operating inboard coil-over damper units
    Brakes: AP 4-pot calipers with 12" ventilated discs all round
    Wheels/tyres: GD 3-piece alloy wheel with unique fan centres for additional brake cooling. 245x45 R17 front tyres, 274x45 R17 rear tyres

    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. :)
