For those of you familiar with this car, it is now sold as a rolling chassis in the US by 1gracing (http://www.1gracing.com). You then sprinkle on a 365 hp twin turbo ford motor and Getrag 6-speed and it appears to be a quick little auto!

Anyone know anything else about this car? How it might compare to a 996TT? Anyone live in Cincinatti and been to test drive it yet? I'm thinking of heading up there in a couple of weeks just for the heck of it.

 

Here you go man...

For the money, this is one hot car that will probably smoke most things on the track, including a TT....

I would get an Areial Atom instead, but the M12 look cool.

 

I was thinking of getting one, every review on the car says its the best car they've driven, both Top Gear and Fifth Gear both RAVED about it, even saying its his favorite car to drive, ever. I think it looks really cool and when it drives you can actually hear the turbo's breathing, they say it sounds like darth vader breathing. Great little car, along with the new TVR 350

 

definitely is quick and handles as well as anything on earth. However, to me it looks TERRIBLE. it looks like a kit car someone made in their back yard.

The TVR 350C is a great car, however I think the new M12 GTO-3R has a bit better performance. The TVR is priced more resonable.

 

So what would the price be altogether on this machine, with engine and all? Its so freaking cool

 

about 80

 

"1g Racing USA M12 GTO-3R chassis are sold without engine and transaxle. Similar USA engine specs are available from independent engine builders"

Perhaps you can fit your 996 TT engine?

 

It's a lot of performance for 80 bucks......Sure warrants a close look.
