well these Cosworth's were quite nice cars, yet very unsafe...

Really and now I see why they don't make them anymore

Oh! don't dismiss it so quickly... That's a lotus 7, caterham 7 or a homade copy thereof. Done right they can keep up with ferarris. They are VERY good handling, weigh less that 1400lbs in some applications 0-60 times in the high 3s. They have been in production since 1958 in one form or another. It's so low You can pick up a rock from the ground from the driver's seat. But they are tight fitting indeed... and probably crumple like pop cans.
