Car idea
If someone started producing a bare bones roadster with a very stiff suspension, less than 2700 lbs with 550-600 hp, do you think they'd sell at a price of say 50-60k? An open top roadster with a power to weight ratio better than a Ferrari F40. Not a super car, just a throw back to the 427 Cobra, a bare bones roadster with WAY too much power. If it were your ~55k to spend, would you spend it on that or a ZO6/996/M3/imported Lotus Elise?
The Panoz AIV isn't being made anymore is it? Weren't they about 60k?

i think this is what you're looking for.
1000 lbs and 170 hp. =D
Just turbo it and you'll have that power to weight ratio you want.

Re: Car idea (Crazyquik)
I think you're talking about a high-end Lotus 340R.
I'd just get a 210hp turbo conversion ($12,000) for my Elise ($30,000), and add carbon front and rear clamshells ($7,000) to save 36 lbs more. Then I'd go on a diet too.
I'm in Germany, so I don't have to worry about the importing aspect.
