Race Car Replicas Superlite & Roadster Website Launched

[Joe T]

Race Car Replicas have launched a new website dedicated the RCR Superlite and Roadster cars, includes all the relavent info and a forum supporting all the RCR Cars.

http://www.superlitecars.com/

(PS. Should not be long before we have one in the UK.........)

Is the price in £, $, E or Pesetas???? 43,000ish? If it is US dollars, looks viable.

Looks flippin' expensive considering no engine / gearbox ect. Better be good.

Hi

All prices are in US Dollars, we would also have to add a bit on for Duty, shipping and VAT.

If it's anything like the GT40 replica, good doesn't quite describe it. Work of Art would be more appropriate.

Joe - only comment on the website, any other viewers as stupid as I might take a very long time to work out there are in fact several groups of photo's, rather than just the four visable.

Hi Davi

It only went live last night, I suspect it will need a little tweaking, I will forward on any comments and take your point on the pics etc.

Do you guys think that its a good idea to separate these cars from the mainstream Race Car Replica stuff? Interested in your thoughts.

[Davi]

I can see why you would, being that they are not really replica's it makes sense to compartmentalise them somewhat, though personally I'd have thought some stronger links through to the replica's site may be a good idea.

The site itself I like - simple, clean, info there where you need it and didn't take a month of Sundays to download on my crappy connection. Only slight problem (IMO) could be if you expand it to include more text - reading white text on dark background is OK for the limited amounts you have & need at the moment, but can be painful with any substantial amount of text.

The 'coupe' looks amazing!

Could do with some high-res pics though

I adore the Roadster. Will they do it in Right Hand drive for the UK market?

Thanks,

Hi Joe T,

Can you let me know when you have a Roadster in the UK as I am only about 35 miles from you and I would love to come and see it in the flesh. What engine are you going to put in it? What do you estimate the average build cost to be for one?

Thanks,

O

Sounds reasonable, I like the product, also saw a while ago that a company near by you can install engine's and the rest of the car as a complete car?
But what is better when you live in the Netherlands like me, bring it in as a rolling chassis and build the rest here? or build it over there complete turn-key and import it and try to get it on the road?
I saw different sorts of engine's guess its also possible to install the Z06 V8? because they are not that expensive in your country and have 500hp
So a complete turn-key coupe with Z06 LS7 engine would cost approximately???

Guess it would be hard in NL to get it road legal here...or maybe as a buggy

thx

GTRene,

call RCR to discuss your exact specs, as your list is too vague to give an accurate answer at this point...
What transaxle???LSD???....paddle shift???....wheel size etc etc etc

your right, I will ask them in time, first make a wish-list and listen to their advise.
thx so-far, its a lovely car and I guess cheaper and with better/newer tech then a Ultima GTR wich become a bit old tech? to name one I was also after but for me to expensive new, think this car can do the same and weight even lighter as well?
