If you&#8217;ve got a hankering for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/gm\/\">GM<\/a>&#8216;s small-block power wedged into an American-made, hand-stitched chassis, you&#8217;re in luck. Rapier, a Boston-based supercar builder, is now taking orders for its one and only SL-C Superlite Coupe via eBay. For the low, low &#8220;Buy it Now&#8221; price of $179,000, you too can lay your greedy mitts on a mid-engined exotic with a GM-sourced LS3 mounted amidships. Rapier will even let you customize the car with whatever interior\/exterior color combination strikes your fancy.<\/p>\n<p>The company extracts a healthy 376 horsepower from the base eight-pot, and that&#8217;s supposedly good enough to propel the SL-C to a top speed of 222 mph. Something tells us the common man is a little more likely to see the 3.6-second 0-60 time, though. And given the SL-C Superlite Coupe&#8217;s curb weight of 2,375 pounds, those numbers are more than realistic. As you might have guessed, buyers packing fatter billfolds can opt for a 505-hp LS7 or an 800-pony supercharged LS9.
