Ryan... Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Street legal F1 replica http://www.furorecars.co.uk/index.php I'll take one with the ZX14r engine + sequential gearbox! And if we're still dreaming, a Muzzy turbo kit for the ZX14r motor pushes it to 285bhp with a 15k redline. I'm literally drooling right now.

Brian. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Looks really fake IMO. Super boxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah from the side it looks crazy tall, but I'm ok with that. There's no way they could make an exact (or even close to exact) replica for under $70k. I'm more drawn to the fact it looks awesome IMO, and the performance would be insane. Looks more similar to the cars of the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 IDK man. Still boxy and awkward looking. Looks too kit car like. I'd rather have one of these: Caterham Super Seven. They handle so well, an look so damn sweet. With that being said If they made it sound and look more like a F1 car, I'd be all over that.

Ryan... Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've been on an F1 kick for the past couple months, therefore I'm still feeling the Furore car. I wonder how hard it would be to build your own F1 replica though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Is it gunna be made of CF and titanium bits? ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 ha, I wish. However, I'm seeing F1000 cars can be had for around $35k turnkey, and used ones anywhere from $10-15k-. Powered by 1000cc motorcycle engines.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wouldn't sound the same. Don't want! If I could get a street car to sound/rev like an F1 car, even of the 80's I'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Factory five 818 would be my choice for a kit car. https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/project-818/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Factory Five makes some great cars. A guy on BFC bought one I do believe, one of the big supercar looking ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm sure factory five cars handle amazing (I've never heard of them up until this point) But they look so... idk.. Weird.The body lines don't flow at all.. For cost effectiveness. You could get an Ariel Atom for (Roughly) the same price, and have a K24 (civic SI motor) with a 6spd. That would romp alot of cars. And is open wheeled. (Trying to keep with the original posters car theory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
