trophylite vs superlite

[xnoregretsx]

opinons?... thoughts?... facts?...

theyre about the same price... i looked into both and i cant decide wich i like more

My vote is with the superlite, I've always like the rotary motor.

My vote would be for a Trophy Lite. Not only a bitchen ride but also a nice purse payout if you win...Trophy Lite the way to go (And no I do not own one)

Seems like it depends on the type of racing venue you want to participate in...

Trophy Lite pretty much hands all the other "Mini" vehicles their ***** when it comes to the complete package for people looking at racing in the desert (2009 season includes one short course event).

SuperLite has been focused more on the short-course side of things. Some places they will be racing against Pro-Lites, and will get hammered. Other series have them race in their own class...

I thought about the Trophlite and the C1 Lite for a long time. I ended up going with the desert version of the FPO Superlight which is five inches longer with bypass shocks at all corners. I chose to go with the 2.4L Ecotec. See the attached thread regarding the Desert Lites.

I checked out both cars before I made a purchase and am currently owning my second Superlite.... anyone that is interested in checking out the cars is welcome to come meet me at the track with my 09 SuperLite and ride in the truck while we are already there testing

xnoregretsx: let me know if you want to come out
and that goes for anyone else out there that is serious and wants to see how the SuperLites handle

what do the superlites cost?
EDIT: found it, 55k

In FPO's video, the superlight looks FAST... much faster than the trophy lite, are there many of these superlight's out there?

I believe theres 6 Running, 2 almost done that are sold and a very good chance the number of cars may triple in the next two months

Something else to think about would be prep costs. Trophy Lites seem to be fairly inexpensive in the motor and trans departments. How are the Superlites?

 

[CRAIG_HALL]

The FPO Superlite was designed as a short course style truck, the new F-1 is a desert version, longer wheelbase (longer rear arms) wider track width and new front geometry to allow coil & 2.5 bypass. Small power rack, slightly different roof design and an alumium body to keep the buggy look.

Prep should be just as simple as anything else, all standard heims, misaligns, bushings. Nothing to raise a prep cost familiar with manufacturer only items.

They do have a great purse, however I prefer transaxles and building your own car along with having more choices rather than a spec. class! Lets get a Desert Lites Class for all the FPO Superlights, FPO F-1 Lites, C1 Lites, Trophylites, Mason Pro-Runners with Ecotec's, and 5 open cars that are willing to change to a Ecotec.

There is BIG news coming from the Super Lite side of things in the next 10 days or so. If you are on the fence about what truck to buy hold out a few days, this announcement will make the decesion easy for you!

The checks are very impressive and the class just keeps getting better. 2009 sounds like it will be monumental, hang in there, your name will be on some, but not all!!!

 

[Leising]

Id listen to ApexKiller on waiting another 10 days.
I ran an entire race season and desert season on my Superlite and am still running the same set up withouth doing any more than changing my oil.
My offer still stands on test rides!
Anyone thats going to be in Gordons over the week/weekend-look for me in the black Kal-Gard Truck
