Have a look at the www.indycycle.net

I like both of them. If I had the skill I would use the Indycycle plans as a start point for my own 2 seater car.

Depends on how heavy it is, it may not need SVA but MSVA a completely different kettle of fish.

0-100-0 in 10s, 0-60 in 3.5 from a 126bhp Kawasaki 600 lump @ 370kg - not convinced and $29,900 - hmmm.
Depends how it's geared. If it's geared so it tops out at ~110 I guess it's not impossible, just unlikely. I know my mates Kawasaki z750 does 60 in a shade over 3 secs but that is a bigger engine and has no extra weight to haul around.

Either way it's hardly going to be slow.

It does look amazing but it's very expensive. I like the look of the rayvoloution the best of all the single seat trikes out there. At that price you can look at getting a Morgan and they have a lot more heritage and class. I know it's totally different, but that's what I'd go for.

Have a look at the Caparo T1 photos below..



and it naked chassis...



It looks to have a very similar suspension system, with exposed shocks in front of the driver. This is road legal in the UK, so the P6 could be! Does this help?
