Porsche 917 - Almost

[soloracer]

Saw this driving home the other day. Looked pretty cool. LS1 power.

Don’t think so. He has the RCR Superlite.

This is a super cool spot!!! Never seen one of those before.

Here is the Superlite - pictures from their website. Looks like Calgary to me.



Their website is:

Looks like Alex was trying to market them as Rapier Cars:

They also do 917 Kits:

I know you cannot import a kit car from the United States unless it is over 15 years old. The 917 that we saw looked a little beat up. Maybe it is over 15 years old?

Those cars are both awesome. I think that 917 has exhaust by unobtanium, there's a bunch of pics floating around (too much of a pain to embed from my phone).

Really cool kits. The outdoor Superlite photos are definitely not Calgary though.

M.Alex was working on a 917 kit after he finished the superlite

That is Alex’s car... it is absolutely insane

[Ekliptix]

Interested. Any details, I didn't see a build thread.

[M.alex]

that's me .... built ls3 ... 700hp ~1,600lb curb weight

and what do you mean 'almost' ... it's real, I got rid of the flat 12 and LS-swapped it because LS-swap-all-things .... honest

[Ekliptix]

I just want more pics video everything to see about this insane car. And I'm on board with LS swap the space shuttle for lower ETs to space.
What's it like to drive? How long did it take to build? What was the toughest part?

Sure it's real.......because you are a baller and would take a sawzall to a $4 million original car. Hahaha....... Wish you would have opened it up for us. Was more than a little disappointing that my wifes diesel Touareg easily hung a beating on you. But that is to be expected since we did the Viper V10 swap. Nothing hangs with us now.
