Lotus Seven replica
Added on May 15 by Keith

It’s not a real Lotus, but it runs like one. It takes all the good bits from the Miata and weighs right around 1300 lbs. The engine has been worked over and makes about 175 hp out of 1600 cc. It currently holds the overall lap record at our local track.

You might have seen it in Grassroots playing with an Atom. It’s also the subject of a book. Warning, the website might suck you in.

Keith's Locost is one of the cars I wish I could vote for twice. Actually, almost all of Keith's cars make me wish I could vote for 'em twice.

Wouldn't be fair… and it would actually be more work to make an exception just for me.
