Thanks, but the credit goes to V8Archie and the Crew, Norm, Troyboy, Exoticse, and Fiero4.9 for if it wasn't for these people #020 would have never been built.[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 01-08-2013).]

Guilty as charged.

So many pictures but none all lit up!? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see those blacked out side markers and tail lights come to life. Headlights too. This has gotta be one of the best looking modded fieros out there!

Sorry. The shop disconnected all of the lights (except the rear-LOL) and one of the "PONTIAC" light is out. No big deal for I had them all lit up before (except the side black out lights).

What don't you like about those wheels? Personally, they are my favorite set of HRE's that madcurl owns.
The blue car is up for a widebody treatment eventually if that's what you're worried about. Madcurl hasn't even began to tweak that monster yet, but might just be my favorite once he does (I got mad love for notchies).

I figured that is were it was going and that is what I was referring to. LOL Yes, thank you Curly for putting a widebody on her as it will look MUCH better.

I don't know..........You made a nice car BUT I think I would rather buy one of these and have plenty left over for gas

Superlite SLC Intro Beauty on the outside, beauty on the inside.
The Superlite SLC was designed and engineered by a small group of dedicated engineers, designers and craftsmen. It never passed through a committee, and we didn’t make any Powerpoints while it was in the process of creation. That’s because we only needed to answer to our own vision of what the perfect Supercar would be.
And that is why the Superlite SLC is so pure in line. And so technologically advanced.
You see, we didn’t want another “me too” car based on old-design tube-chassis and riveted aluminum panels that was ancient even at the end of the last century. We didn’t want a body that looked swoopy but was hard to see out of, or was too difficult and expensive for an average builder to build because of poor fitting panels and lousy surfaces.
So the Superlite SLC had to be a clean-sheet, modern car that was infused with state of the art technology that helps make the car easier to build- and better to drive.
For example, It has Class-A finishes on every panel so you don’t even need to paint it- you can buff the gelcoat and go. Or use a vinyl wrap if you want.
The doors fit right out of the mold, and don’t need weeks of trimming and fettling to attach properly to the body.
The chassis doesn’t have sloppy MIG welds with spatter everywhere, and welds that need to be ground off to fit aluminum panels. The SLC chassis is the stiffest on the market, with beautiful TIG welds, no spatter, and requires no more work to be done to it as delivered. The SLC even has custom aluminum suspension arms and uprights that are CNC-machined in house, instead of re-using old parts from a car with a completely different engine/drive configuration. All SLCs have double-adjustable aluminum shocks that are race-derived, not fixed-rate shocks that are supposed to work for every situation and builder. The chassis and suspension parts are truly designed to work together, so you have proper camber and bump-steer curves, and more than enough caster.
So the Superlite Coupe has a modern chassis with a proper suspension, and a great-looking body with superb fit and finish. Is it as fast as it looks- or is it something that just looks racy?
This year Superlite Cars decided to prove to themselves, and everyone else, that the Superlite Coupe was much more than just an easy-to-build, modern supercar. So we went racing.
And won.
We didn’t just win a few races, we set lap records at every track we visited on the way to winning the 2011 NASA Super Unlimited class National Championship. We dominated at the National Championships, capturing pole position for every race, winning both qualifying races, and almost lapping the entire class in the final National Championship race.
All this in a car that you can buy today from Superlite Cars. Everything on the Championship- winning car is a standard or optional off-the-shelf part from Superlite. We sell what we race, so our builders and owners can have the confidence that their cars are actually race proven.
The Superlite SLC has great looks, a modern chassis, and now, a racing history.
It’s a beautiful thing.[This message has been edited by DL10 (edited 01-11-2013).]

Funny that you mentioned Factory Five. I've been talking to the owner and have reached a down payment and what I want. You can see the details regarding what I want on the SEMA thread.
Here's a few pics:

Nah, I like Factory Five and for 50k you're "good to go." There's a GTM on Ebay right now for 50k and with a LS engine and another one for 100k. I think either F5 would look sweet inside my garage next to #020. If you want one real bad I can give you his #.[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 01-11-2013).]
