|
|
Well last Thursday we completed the first proto type Manxter built by Mendeola Signature Motors and OH WHAT A RIDE !!!! Our new venture is building turn key Manxters. Our cars have four wheel disc brakes, a complete "A" front suspentions, four wheel disc brakes, and a 275+ hp six cylinder Subaru power plant. That is where the fun starts... Roll on the throttle and "Hold On"...... This car puts a smile on your face that you can not remove for atleast an hour (that is if no one ask about the ride)...
I'll be posting some pictures up here soon.......
PS: these cars will be for sale on here and at dealerships across the country soon...... |

We'll what do you guys think of this....
Our little car wieghs in at 1900 lbs, it has 327 hp, that is about 5.8 lbs to 1 hp.... We can out accelerate a vette, and possibly out turn it too.... we are still fine tuning the suspension and a couple of other things, but what fun it is too drive... The only hard thing is finding someone dumb enough to race down the street and let me know if my brake lights work..  |
