That's so old news. This year's Vuhl 05 RR does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds:

I watched a recent televised test drive (done in the UK) on this car, which is how I found it exists. Do the other cars in the links you posted cost less than 100K in street legal versions?

The RR is definitely in the same performance league as the others and the estimated price of $95,000 fits in the lower range. The performance enhancements of the RR could make it a very capable track day car. Would like to see a track comparison with the others in this segment.

Eddie Hill has an Ariel Atom and you can hear it coming a long time before you see him. Has a unique whine to it.

Is he still in the Wichita Falls area?

He lives back toward Holliday.

In 1961 I worked at Wichita Supply Co.and met him when he came in for his supplies for his shop. A lot of days I would spend my lunch hour visiting him in his shop. He lived in a trailer house with his first wife. Seems like he had a 1961 Pontiac Ventura that he ran in Super Stock at our local drag strip.I think it was called Red River Raceway. He was a very nice and patient gentleman.

I've met him and his wife, both are super nice people. I don't know how he is still alive after seeing videos of some of his wrecks.
