Could the Superlite SLC be the BEST Cheap Track Build?

  • With so many performance cars costing millions, it can be hard to get the speed and style you want at an affordable price. Fortunately, there are tons of exotic kit cars that allow you to build your own beautiful track beast without breaking the bank! The RCR Superlite SLC is a LS V8-powered machine with vertical doors and a roof snorkel. It promises fantastic performance like a 257-mph top speed, 0-60 in 3.2s, and lap records at racetrack circuits around the world. And the best part- it starts at under $50,000! Does that make the Superlite SLC the BEST affordable track kit on the market?

      @rickden8362 2 года назад +2

      Does it really make a difference? Each of these will have more than enough performance for street use, so it really just come down to personal preference and comfort, and some will not be comfortable for those over about 5'10(178cm) regardless of what the company says. If you're looking for a track-day car the same goes for what I said above about performance, and don't kid yourself that you need the ''quickest'' thing around the track, you're probably not that good.

    The SLC is a beautiful piece of engineering. I think the best value is to build one to use as a track toy or as a road toy. Meaning, no effort or expense invested in body work, paint or interior finish. Makes no real difference on the driver experience but massive difference in cost and build time. If you want one that is pretty with a supercar finish, then buy one used. They have no real resale value. Builders seldom recoup the cost of materials used and give up all cost of labor. It will still be used Porsche 911 turbo or Audi R8 V10 money. I'd rather have one of those if I want a daily usable sports car. The SCL kit car will always be a kit car with very limited resale value. So build it as a toy and use it.

      Yes but his build was very extensive and personalized to his liking. Modifying fiberglass parts, making his own CF parts, coating or finishing of metal parts, etc. I believe most simpler SLC builds require 500-700 hours which isnt too bad. You might be able to get it done in 250 hours if youre an experienced builder. After all, this was designed to be to be hassle free as possible.

    very pretty... but the sad truth is still neck and neck with a C7 and C8 in terms of performance and price... with the Vettes having much more in terms of day to day usability.... but side by side... the SLC is the panty dropper for sure.
