    IDentify this OSO QWK ride?

    07-10-2012 01:55 AM #1
    Saw this pull out in front of me on my way to work from a nice nbhood, only saw the side for a split second and didn't see any badges. Just noticed the license plate meaning when I looked at the pic now I saw long blonde female hair inside too
    Engine was loud and deep and throaty.

    Saleen S7.

    edit: The vents are weird, and it has dual instead of quad exhaust. Still pretty sure though. Maybe a competition example or something.

    Hmm I think thats a fail, totally different rear (although this could be modified I have no idea)

    I was fooled by those ubiquitous DOT approved taillights that all 90's low volume supercars had. Although those big vents under the lights aren't usually on the Factory 5 either.

    Oh yeah, Factory Five Racing. New to me. I thought the engine sounded 'Merican, but didn't want to say for fear I would be stupid.

    For some reason, from that pic, it looks real cheap, like a crappy kit car or something.

    Factory 5 is a kit car.

    They look great in person and they have to be plenty fast. I would put them several notches above the average kit car.

    that american rumble was most likely ls based. 99% of them i have seen completed are using them. they can be one hell of a car for about $50k completed.

    They are all set up to use Corvette engines and suspensions with a Porsche 911 trans axle.
