whoa... that's scary b/c I just made a (lame) joke to Maria about a six wheeled car on the 'ole F-B.

Looks like a good way to minimize understeer. :lol:

Bah! I see your 6-wheels and raise you two!

Here's a recent purchase by one of our fellow Lemons racers.

If it's outrageous enough you can get a pass...and he already did before he even bought it.

It's unlikely to ever see the track because of the likely hood of damage to one of the one-off fiberglass body panels.

He's already been contact by Top Gear Magazine for a story and the thing doesn't even move (yet) under it's own power.

Haha, I guess my bad joke skills proved themselves again. I was just talking about the car Michael referenced...if 4wd cars are cheaters then 6wd are very much so. I drive a 4wd car...irony...ok I suck :(.

Ah OK, I thought you meant a 'cheater" in Lemons since the limit is $500. This car is way past that, but since they really want to see it on a race track he gets a pass. Like I said, it's unlikely it will ever see race though.

Is it based on a C3 vette?

It isn't based on anything! All the panels and tube chassis are 100% custom. Even the lenses were hand made.
