Caen Fred Posted March 26, 2003 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2003 Why don't we get together to build the ultimate race car? We have all the knowledge, brain and talent to do so. We are a lot on this site, so a few buck each for a real adventure?What a way to get toghether around a nice project with our club flag on it.Here what I think, let's plan to run a car in the 2004 Panam race in Mexico... it's open enough to express our wildest dream...Any imputs welcome...

Alfadog Posted March 26, 2003 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2003 Mmm... that could quite possibly turn into a very good publicity idea, not to mention the fun involved in driving it! The only bad thing is I think it'd end up being built by Mike and the gang in the USA because after all that's where the majority of members come from! Although I took your idea as building up a pre-designed chassis/body car. If you are suggesting we build one up from absolutely scratch......... well I can sketch pretty good :stupid: There are enough members reasonably close together in the US but I can't see it happening in any other place than there... except for perhaps Adelaide! Is a good idea though At school we started building a Locost (Lotus 7 Replica) but it wasn't finished by the time my class graduated... we built the chassis and suspension components up and took out the engine from the half-cut we bought, but there's still a lot left to be done! Lots of fun, probably more designing it all from absolutely nothing, and it isn't that expensive if you do it yourself! What I would like to see is a little Lotus replica thing with a 13B Turbo engine in it. Perfect engine I would have thought...

Caen Fred Posted March 26, 2003 Author Share #3 Posted March 26, 2003 Once the car is built, nothing wrong about going for a world tour... There must be great open racing around... Yes it would have to be built in the sate, but imputs could be world wide, no? Maybe we should use the work setup in order to be abble to enter race worldwide... 1 pan-am 2 US vintage race 2 Le Mans Classic 3 Good-wood 4 Spa vintage 4 Aussie race 5 ... all we need is a go... :bunny: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/5320-lets-build-us-a-club-race-car/#findComment-31457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z Kid Posted March 26, 2003 Share #7 Posted March 26, 2003 Come on ozzie guy, before the targa you need a good shakedown rally, make it the classic adelaide, then its at least got a fair bit of fellow Z competition.

Zedrally Posted March 27, 2003 Share #12 Posted March 27, 2003 Originally posted by Sean Dezart Could each continent produce one ? Many are produced for Targa Tasmania each year.I reckon that it must have the greatest amount of 240/260 zeds competing at the same time!
