Ariel Atom and KTM xBOW would probably be more fun, also expensive than the caterham super 7.

But could it beat a Yugo?

That is one of the coolest little track bashers, if I ever did see one. Where do I get one of those?

Are those 2 street legal? If so, that could be interesting. I like the X-Bow

But the sheer engineering required to make a motorcycle engine work in a car is what impressed me with the Super 7.

It's really not that hard - most bikes that they're using for these things have no cat or emissions stuff AT ALL... It's really not much more than getting the chain 'round an axle rather than beside a wheel.

I'm pretty sure Ferrari didn't design the F430 to be a drag racer

That's the thing, to be street legal, it has to have a catalytic converter. Plus no reverse on bike and you have to have a reverse in a car.

That's not quite true. Specialty Construct regulations vary from state to state, but most do not require a catalytic converter. The Atom, for instance, falls under this category.

Interesting. I wonder what the emission standard up here (Canada) is. I am pretty sure it has to have one. But I guess I can look it up.

In California, only 500 SCVs can be registered each year. That's not per company, that's TOTAL iirc.

Edit:
As far as how fast 500 get registered in California, from the DMV's website:
As of January 3, 2007,
all 500 sequence certificates have been assigned.
No additional sequence certificates will be available until January 2008

That's right, THREE DAYS for the first 500 to get the paperwork done.

That's not quite correct either.

There's an unlimited number of specialty construct that can be registered in CA per year. However, there's only 500 NEW specialty construct per year that can be registered under SB100, which exempts smog checks for the life of the vehicle.

Also, the sequence numbers start on the first business day of the year. This year, that was Jan 2. In the morning on Jan 3rd, all 500 spaces were taken. That means there was just about 1 day to register under SB100 in CA.
