there are several Chaterhams in metro Detroit area, and they always generate interest. For the old folks that remember the Lotus Super 7, they think that is what they are seeing. I saw two not long ago running at nearby Waterford Hills Race Track, one with i believe a 4 cyl Ford Z tech engine (not sure on that one other than a 4 cyl ford) and the other with a Holden engine. The owner with the Holden engine was a General Motors employee who said he had to have a GM powerplant, makes sense to me . Both cars on the track were faster than they sounded and stuck to the course like a train on the tracks, they were a joy to watch. I wasnt sure their engines were running, they were so quiet, guess i am used to a throaty V8....bill.
