I assume everyone here has a subscription, but if not, grab the February issue. In addition to road test of the Exige and the 10cyl 'M' cars, there's a great section on lightweights. Street legal (?).
Rocket: 815lbs 143hp Atom: 1200lbs 210hp Radical: 1100lbs 275hp Understandably, all will embarass any 'super car'. What a hoot. For a weekend driver I would rather have the Radical than any of those 3500lb plus exotics. Or maybe a really hot 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Attached image(s)

The really cool thing about the Rocket was it was designed by Gordon Murray, former F1 designer for Brabham during their most radical years (the fan car, the variable ride height car, the super-low car), and McLaren, and who designed the McLaren F1 road car. Previously, you needed to be a super-talented F1 driver or have incredibly deep pockets to drive one of Murray's creations.
