If you went to the Montery Historics this year, they drove one around the track as a demonstration. The crazy part was the driver looped it and almost slammed into one of the concrete walls during one of the "parade" laps.

 

I did some more checking, it is indeed the Caterham. Marcos apparently went out of business a few years ago. That car bears a striking resemblance to a Marcos coupe, but it's much closer to a Caterham 21 with different body panels.

Caterham is famous for its Lotus Seven-style replicas which epitomize the light=fast school of sports car design. A 200hp Caterham can usually crank 0-60 int he low 4s.

and a Mantaray:

 

I remember seeing clips of the Bugatti losing it. Can you imagine if that driver DID slam into the wall... I'd hate to pick up that bill

 

what he said. that car is SICK:banana:

 

Koenigsegg= teh hotness... saw one in san francisco for the start of the gumball 3000. tight a$$ car!!

 

i believe #2 is a version of the Corvette CERV

 

yeah i remember in the early 90's i saw one of the 126 production EB110's at a car show, that car was hot. Fastest car in production at the time at 214mph.

 

Hey, how did all you guys get pics of my car collection?! No one better be trying to steal my rides now......

I dunno what the cev is, but that stingray is a new concept that gm is thinking about putting out to celebrate something.......the designer for that stingray i believe is the same person who penned the first one.

 

its actualy a italian remake of the vette i forget the name of the desginer tho. nice car it was in robbs report i think a few months ago

 

I bet the second one is indeed a corvette. Not being a smartass, but it says across the bottom of the front bumper.

 

Isn't that Vette in the pics the failed mid-engine concept that they were considering before they released the CO5?

 

I don't think so, i just read it in motor trend in the october or the november issue, this is a remake, not a pre C5 concept.

 

dude look at the wheels on the "vette" in the pic that oddes3y posted, those look like freaking 80's vette wheels!! like the ones on the vette that was in gleaming the cube!!
