I'm not sure that I will ever finish this car... But I hope to.
Just would like to start a dialogue about these options for the car. Having worked on all of them now... I have my own opinions but would like to know everyone else's. Thomas |

If you just want a toy for the track, get the LS and mate it to a boxster transmission. It should provide you with many, many big smiles without worrying about a bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, running more boost etc.
None of those make any sense for a race car. If you would like to race, stay with a type 4 at or under 2 liters. And read the rule book. Can you run carbs? Are you required to run carbs? Etc Dreaming is fun, but having a track car that you have spent all of your time and money on that you have to try to sell so you can build a race car is frustrating. Been there myself twice! |
