Might look good if this was 1996, and not 2006, and their names are crap, and they aren't GTs either.

Very interesting, though, that they appear to be planning a car powered by the RST V8 - 400bhp from 2.0-litres at 10-12,000rpm and it weighs 74 kg.

Much better idea than a 230kg, 10-litre V12.

You could fit two RST engines in there instead, get your 800bhp and still save 90kg

I believe Brammo has dropped "Rogue" from the name of their new car. At least it is no longer referenced that way on their website. The Rogue from Rogue GT was chosen because Brammo's facility is located in the Rogue River Valley region of Oregon. Kind of like when Ferrari named the 360 the Modena, and Pagani named their car Zonda (Zonda is a wind that blows through a mountain range in South America). Both have regional connotations.

Also, the designer of the car has a background with Daytona Prototypes. That probably had a big influence on the shape of the car. Curvy and wedgey rear engined cars have been around for decades. They all have similarities due to aerodynamic, engine location, heat dissipation and cockpit design challenges. Currently, I believe the Zonda has the most unique shape , and I am anticipating seeing the Brammo GT in the flesh someday.

God forbid.
Every car should be the same.

All powered by ruddy Chevy small blocks, apparently

They should really look into the big, heavy, expencive OHC engines so they can market the cars as 'high tech'.

Agh! Give it to the brittish to tune and run on our fuel, and by god, it'll define power and big BHP

OMG, that's so funny. Is that why we dominated the FIA GT when the Vipers were running?

Oh wow...did you forget Vipers were the ones who started setting the pace for American cars in the Le Mans race? BTW, look up the history of the Corvette C5R in LeMans.

Look up the FIA GT standings while you're at it. Who is the company with the most wins per car? Chrysler.
Who is the company with most number of class wins per car? Chrysler.

In the FIA GT3, at Round2 @ Oschersleben, Vipers and Corvettes dominated in the 1-5 positions.
At Spa, in the next round, a Viper won. Z06 GT3 followed 3rd behind it in front of a DBRS9 which was also followed by a Viper.
Round 4 Dijon, Vipers dominate the first 2 positions in front o 2 DBSR9s; a Viper and Corvette finish directly afterwards.
Round 5 at Mugello, a Viper finished 3rd in front a DBRS9.

BTW, lets look at the statistics of the 2006 ALMS season.
Corvettes -189 Points.
Aston Martin - 186 Points.

Yeah, those Aston Martins sure did own 'em.

"We"?

You're French?

Well, monsieur, be proud that your factory-backed French cars managed to "dominate" a class of privately entered Porsche 993 GT2s, the occasional Marcos, Lister or Ferrari. (Untill Ferrari & Lister got their acts together, anyway.)

Worst of all, its american. And the Americans never build a properly fast car in history !!!
