Got me thinking it was a good idea, but really needed a more modern platform, which got me considering what a Lotus Elise would be like, with a few less pounds! The F1 fan in me just loves the idea of a street car with a 13000rpm redline! Sort of the polar opposite of my 390 AMX, both fun, just in different way's! For a real vintage feel, you could bolt two cranks, end to end, and make a 400 HP straight 8!
