Thanks TT ....

The Caterham got a power increase ... finally they fixed the weak spot ... all it need was more power .... NOT ... the frikkin R500 was mad and the R500 EVo Supermad and now this .... this is like the cold war escalation thing going on.

Anyone else think that the MTM RS6 CS is utterly pointless. Why would you start with a luxury sports seden ... remove all elements of practicality and comfort and put it on an extreme diet to try and make it a sports car. Wouldnt it be easier to start with a sports car and massage it to better performance. E.g. going from 360 Modena to 360 CS makes sense but not this brainless venture ....

Hehe, pointless yes, but so is a twin engined TT who needs ice every now and then to cool down :D

MTM isn't about meaningfull cars :D just extreme ones.

BTW some time ago a video of the Club Sport was posted.. pretty long, a bit boring but show nicely how quickly the cars gain speed on the highway!
Still yes, to have a two seat RS6 Avant is kinda strange :D

The bimoto was nuts too ... interesting from an engineering standpoint but nuts otherwise .... didnt it die during the Nardo test?

TT 09-09-2004 12:23 PM

Yes I think it did :D

LMP deserves a better engine, make it a toyota one the elise is using and it should beat the caterham V8 no problem

Land Rover Disco3 --> Really?? 2704kg? That would definitely not help the oil crisis here in North America and that 8 seconds to 60mph is doubtfully achiveable.

Bimoto RS6 is damn hardcore, 580hp, beefed up 6 speed from RS4. I think that is how Audi should built it in the first place, but of course, without deleting the rear seats and A/C.

Thanks TT.
That Caterham is crazy, 340 hp!! :shock:

Great scans TT. 8)

I really like the Silhouette...looks damn good and you can't beat MR...hopefully they will build a limited run of those versions...
