Boy, people sure love building these weird F1/Indy "replicas." I will never understand it, though the thrill level is probably very high for the average non-car person who can't tell the difference. At least it was built on an actual FF chassis...then again, who knows how well the "lengthening" was done.

Wonder if it has dual controls?

I would drive it every day...

But then again.. I almost put tags on an old street stock dirt car to drive... Stuff like this would just make the commute more fun...

I say... why not!

There is a guy here in SE michigan that drives one periodically. I have no idea if his is built tha same as this one though. It could scare the ___ out of you if you were in the back.

I'd be terrified of being flattened by some bimbo in a Suburban more than anything else, or taking errant cigarette butts to the face on the freeway. Makes a Miata, or even a motorcycle seem tall and clearly visible by comparison.

what? seeing a street F1 car isn't a normal thing? I see this one at least a couple times a year.

Seems like a bunch of dough for what you get. Single seat would be better and you'd limit the carnage by half.

Really? I've never seen it! But I don't leave Ann Arbor very often.

I've never seen one of these 4 wheel versions, but I have seen a 3 wheel Formula car type thing, 2 front 1 rear a few times around the Woodward corridor. Similar to below, but not the same.

I believe that car was at Bronte last year. Not sure what it had to do wtih Brit cars, but it was there.

I can think of 35,000 reasons why I would not rock that and only about 3,500 why I would.

Besides, it is the equivalent of wearing a clown suit to the prom. Too much "Look at me!"
