Thanks, I can't believe I built this from the frame up with my buddy Mike. The real beauty is that it works even better than I thought it would. It is so much more stable at speed than the widebody Exige even with it's huge wing which is now blended into the rear deck of this "RS 211".

I took as much functional aero as I could and put it into the shaping of the body redesign. If you were to compare it to an original Lotus 211 you will notice that it is and 4" wider in the front 2" lower on the sides and 13.5" wider in the rear.
It is all hand laid carbon fiber with epoxy resin.

It now has a quick ratio track rack, triple adj. Nitron race shocks and runs on 245/17 and 345/18 Kuhmo V710 dot slicks. 1,650 lbs and 680 whp. with a short ratio Kaaz gearbox, now maxing out at 164mph vs the old 226mph

This is my ultimate canyon carver. I'm sure there are faster canyon cars out there but who cares ?

I dig all the old Mulholland pics and stories posted up. I did my share of nites between Laurel and Coldwater back in the day in Europas, Sevens and all sorts of Group Bs.

I know Dave TRE Cup from way back in the early 80's fun track days and a few runs..
