I'll take a Caterham 7 over your Tesla any day. It's cheaper, lighter, faster in a straight line, faster around the corners, and better for the environment. D

I'll take a Caterham 7 over your Tesla any day. It's cheaper, lighter, faster in a straight line, faster around the corners, and better for the environment.
Did I also mention I could drive it from San Jose to San Francisco and back without needing a tow truck or an overnight recharge?
Did they do anything to advance technology to build it? Probably not. But they sure made damn good use of existing technology, and in doing so have produced something truly amazing to drive.
In the same vein, have the retro CPU hackers 'advanced' existing technology? No. But they've given themselves a really deep knowledge of how CPUs work, and on top of that, added a rather impressive bullet point to their resumes. And they've made something that is pretty damn cool.

- aarongough 17y agoOne advantage to the Caterham is that it actually comes with a roof :-p
- chadgeidel 17y agoI have loved the C7 for a long time, but I was unaware they were available for purchase in the US. Is there some kind of program (maybe like the Noble in which it is sold as a "kit car") where these are available?
