Alloycars looking for opinions
Hello all, my name is Ozzie and I own Alloycars, we now specialize in exact 100 point, blueprint, re-creations of the Porsche Spyder 550. We got our start making Aluminum Bodied Cobras. As a result we have several bodies on the shelf and have taken some orders for C6 Corvette powered cars. the simple questions is: what you guys and girls (Purist aside) think about an aluminum bodied Cobra/roadster with the following specs:
$80,00 ready to drive
Aluminum hand hammered body
LS2 or LS3 power with corresponding manual transaxle 400-600HP on tap
all suspension and brakes from the C6
325 tires on the rear as on the Z06
Side pipes
A bit more legroom in the cockpit thanks to the transaxle (rear transmission)
Halibrand style wheels
Leather interior on alum seats
Optional Aluminm head rest or rollbars
may even install a sleeker laid down head light to modernize the front end.
You'll see pics fo a polished car delivered long ago as well as 14 aluminum bodies waiting to be built and one of our recreation Porsches in the build process
I personally love the car and everything about the durability/performance of the LS2-3 engine. And for those that know the dimensions, yes the Chassis is built to fit the cobra wheel base and width so from a distance this car looks like any other aluminum cobra on the road. I know that purists will not approve but there must be some of you who like this kind of out of the box approach. I wonder how many of you there are.
