It sure is pretty, it sure is affordable. What else does one need to know about these?

For those who don't want to click on the link:

The RUSH SR is our entry level race car, but don’t let it’s size, 1000cc engine or its price let you think for a second that this is not a high performance race car! With a power to weight ratio of 375 Hp/MT the performance is close to a GT-3 Cup Car! Oh and the sound is amazing!

Lap times on road courses are similar or faster than that of other entry point “prototype” Sport Racers! The paddle shift, clutch-less up-shift gearbox, is a feature typically found only on the most exotic track day cars and our suspension system offers significant tuning capabilities while maintaining a high level of reliability. Did we mention our 274 mm Billet aluminum brakes with 4 pot calipers all round, this “BMF” stops! Final drive is through a 12 plate adjustable LSD with 2 diff ramps.

The chassis features a front and rear crash structure, a triple roll bar, composite side anti-intrusion panels and optional 2.5 lb. fire extinguisher and a FRP or Carbon seat with five point harness.

The GRP bodywork is formed from 20 panels to allow for easy, low cost, replacement of damaged panels. These panels for front and rear clam-shells that are held in place by  aerocatches for fast removal.

The whole design has been done to keep costs down. Even the size of the car permits it to be run on many of the larger competition karting tracks so you don’t even need to take out a loan to join the local ” Motorsport Country Club”

The best part is it’s price, Fully assembled! $ 28,995.00

The more I read about it, Seems like another bike engine "adult kart". $29,000 for a race car seems cheap until you call it a $29,000 go kart.

Wow. That's really awesome but still outside of my budget.

We have talked about them. They sound incredible, but also,what do you do with one? Or more accurately, what do you do with one that you can't already do with a SRF that already has big race fields? If you could get 20 Rush cars together to race they would be great, but you need that before I'd have more than a passing interest.

I'm sure it's pretty awesome in the performance department, but man, that thing is goofy-looking. 

Looks like a $30k go-kart with a cheap body kit.  YMMV.

As I'm racing this thing I'm not going to call it goofy looking.
