Can I really deny it to you ? As this one is really a beauty, I agree ! I change the weight limit to 953kg.

Now it's time for the Americans to understand this principle. Build cars with much less weight and proper suspension instead of leafsprings, for god's sake.

Yes, your signature So I think you can think of entering, can't you ?

About understanding on the other side of Atlantic, I found while looking for Ariel Atom refpics a man trying to convert pagans : An Atom Across America. A long trip accross USA to show it's Atom. Lucky man

Sounds like a brilliant idea! Maybe we could conjure up some solution for a prize? Especially if if it gets more competitors! I would be willing to donate a few pounds to a prize if I entered

Anyway, I'm going to be away untill early/mid august, but if I find a car I'll give this competition a go when I get back

I might also give it a try, not 100% sure I have time but I will do my best.
My weapon of choice for this will be the Alfa-Romeo Giulia GTA. The normal Giulia weights in at about 1000kg but the GTA version was slimmed down to something like 750kg.

Hey Tom , listen man , i know this might be a little annoying , but can you push the limit a little bit further ? say 1180 Kg ? ---> it's the Koenigsegg CCX man , plz ....

if not , would it be ok if i remove some parts of the car so it weights 953 kg , say the interior and engine , those gotta be at least 350 Kg , right?
