@duurtlang: From a performance and exclusivity per dollar standpoint, I think these are a bargain at $20k-$30k

"descriptively, fairly, and in good faith."

@snap_understeer_ftw: interesting mid-corner throttle feathering/stabbing too. Sigh, RIP Ayrton, nice loafers.

I think it looks like they peeked at Fisker's drawing board and said,"Hey that doesn't suck, maybe we can rif on that profile, but skip those stupid trapezoidal vents."

@fodder650: @FrankRizzo: Ooo found this too. Sorry, As a non-native to Philly, I'm kind of fascinated by him.

I love these and toyed with building one a few years ago when I had garage space. But like any project like this, you will have more into it than you can sell it for, especially if you aren't a perfectionist; and this guy clearly isn't. Yes, it will cost $20K to build a nice 914 V8 but this one doesn't look to be that

@Elly: I was wondering the same thing about the Lady Gaga videos. Weird connection, but such is the wondererous time-killer that is YouTube.

When is Toyota going to come up with a Direct Injection engine? It seems like other Mfrs are getting better mileage and power with the DI units and Toyota is lagging behind. maybe Lotus should try Mazda power.

@elwood: +1 Exactly what I was thinking.

@Elhigh: Funny, just last night I was daydreaming/ wasting time on Hemmings and admiring a Nomad with a 265V-8 and a 2-speed powerglide. [www.hemmings.com]
