All these treads containing 'I wish they would make...'
My ideal would be cheap, light, and quick. 180mph top speed and 0-60 under 5.0 not required. No reinventing the wheel, just distilling most wanted features into one car. Opposed or an inline laid flat so C/G close to axle centerline. A/C, stereo, etc. good, but have delete option for club sport version. No turbo/supercharger and possible 'green' version hybrid. Continuously variable tranny. ABS/traction/airbags and protective cockpit. Make it look like a 55 to 65 sport racer. Lotus 23, RS60, etc. No bulges (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Target is 2: 2000 lbs 200hp $20,000 There is enough artistic and engineering expertise here to do it. |

Not in the industrial sect, are we? I'm in. And I think we could hit budget. Might as well incorperate some neat aero devices everywhere we can. Someone design the bodywork. I think we'd HAVE to rely on the 6-point harnesses. Custom installing airbags is dangerous. I used to work for a plant that made airbags. They had alarms when there was too much static in the air and everyone had to sit down where they were standing, in case something explodes. But thats another story. Who else could help? WRX914- Windshield? Me-Mounts and machinework We'd need a team of artists to design the thing. And someone willing to bury his garage in styrofoam and fiberglass for the bodywork. And someone to weld a tube-frame. From aluminum with a steel rollcage? Or totally out of steel. It's too late. I can't remember the name of the lightweight steel they use in aircraft. I'll remember after I post. And we'd HAVE to do unequal length adjustable wishbones on the front and five link rear. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
