Americans and their skidpads. As if they tell you ANYTHING of the cars actual handling.

@Luwinkle , this car uses a ford duratec engine
-
@scotlandloose And they use Honda engines.
-
one of the top 10 best cars ever conceived

While an associate of mine has built one of these with a Mitsubishi Evo 2 4G63BT engine tuned for a staggering 500 hp and achieves 0 - 60 mph times in under 2 seconds with slicks and a rugged driveline, I thought I'd try something else.
A 115 hp lean burn Toyota FA-7E 1800cc engine in a 7.
I get 0 - 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, but at 60 mph constant speed with a high ratio diff where the engine spins at just 1,950 rpm, I get an amazing 79 miles per imperial gallon.
Quick but seriously economical.

@privatepadilla Doesn't matter, too ugly and no where near as cool as the Caterham :)

wow my 3 legged cat can drive better than you..

I do not understan why they have such a steep price tag. Here in Mexico, the base model is over $50k USD.... for a bare pice of metal...
You can build your own for les than 15k... easily.... I love em... they are just way to expensive.

Really? Well, I'm no driving god, but my Caterham hasn't killed me yet. And I do 'press on' a lot. It's relatively easy to catch oversteer and understeer in these cars, they are so communicative and responsive. Maybe it's just your driving skills that are lacking? In fact, I haven't heard about anybody being killed in one of these, although I'm sure they have. If they are as bad as you seem to think, I'm sure there would be plenty of reports.

Yeah, then don't crash. Simple really, but if you drive like a tit, then pay back is a bitch!
