Copy of a 7 with better suspension geometry.
Chassis by PRB in Sth Africa.

Mine is about 80% complete :-)

Hmmm? What's the story at the rear? My Super 7 (Ford Cosworth twincam),
with its live rear axle, was (past tense; it's gone), um, uncomfortable,
even on the track. And it lifted its inside rear on high-speed sweepers.
Has PRB articulated the rear end, or is it still live?

Yep, still live though there is a de Dion rear end but at a weight
penalty.
We usually find that lifting rears is caused by incorrect spring
rates, doesn't really slow you too much with a good LSD but with less
grip you can't get the power down as early.`
These cars usually run 20VToyotas thru Sierra boxes and Quaife diffs.

Not a day has gone by when I don't regret selling the 7. Track days just
haven't been the same. But I know things have changed, such as the engines,
and parts for the Cosworth were getting a bit, uh, pricey.

Can you recommend a good website for current 7s? Google shows lots of them,
and I don't have the time to sort 'em out.
