Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: Caterham 7

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Had the American version: StalkerV6.  Originally they had

a V6 from a Camaro (about 200hp), then the supercharged

Buick V6 (up to 300hp), but now they are fitted with an

LS series V8 (300 to 500hp).  They are about 200lbs heavier

than a Caterham, but the extra power makes up for it.  And

I didn't notice the weight difference in comparison to the

Caterham that I drove.

Eventually one of us will have to get it........just look at it like a 4 wheel motorcycle and treat it accordingly!

I see in the UK they have some rental/drive programs for it......really wish they would have something in the states. 

Never heard of Birkin till now.....interesting....learn so much from the list!

I can't say I've spent much time, but I have driven both Caterham(maybe it was a Lotus RHD) and a Birkin.  Being over 6ft, I liked the Birkin better.  Caterham now offers a larger version.  The best way I could describe it is a motorcycle on 4 wheels.  Incredibly fun.  Would love to have one as a toy.  However, by the time you start looking at the price, the Elise starts looking good, too.  Elise is a little more practical and easier (somewhat) to get into with the top up.  I would love to do a side-by-side test.

Been daydreaming of this car for awhile now......and that probably has a lot do with the fact that you never hear owner reports/driving impressions, as much as how nice the car is on its own.

Anybody have any real driving time in a 7? The formula of 1000-1200 lbs with good chassis and suspension, no power steering just seems too good to be true for a road car. 

I guess the downside is that it makes even an Elise seem like a regular car, lol. 

Nobody I know seems to have one. And the question is why? :)

My best guess is they might cost too much....
