Let's help FBC!

What should he build? I kept the kit choices to ~$7-8000. That excludes the Catfish and the DBR1, both of which don't leave much room on a $15,000 budget. Let's pick his next project for him!

Seven FTW. My vote is based on looks only as I know nothing of these kits.

I read option 3 as Windows service pack 1 :confused:

I vote Seven but any of them would be a lot of fun.

Is #3 a TVR?
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

The front lights look straight off a TVR, which I think makes it look pretty cool. Overall vibe of it is definitely TVR inspired.

The 3rd picture has the new bodywork, I believe. Much more angular and better looking.

Well, without the hole in the hood it probably looks better than the older bodywork.

I excluded it and the Catfish because they cost double the kits in the poll. Pay attention.

SP1.  That 7 kit looks horrendous.  Maybe even worse than the Exocet even.

Exocet is for the undeterred purist

There is nothing romantic or nostalgic about it. It's a cage, seats, controls, engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, wheels. No bullshit. Just driving.

My dream project is one of those with a Honda J35 engine in it. Do it for me please :(

There's no value to it like a Seven, which has a significant fan base, and thus resale value if/when he chooses to sell.

Does it have to be Miata-based?

How about a Ginetta then?

Since he already bought a wrecked Miata for use as a donor car...
