I don't have that kind of money, and if I did I would not spend it that way. I do like RCR's p4 sillouette. from the outside it kinda looks like a p4. and thats about the end of the f car comparison.

Come on, Aluminum monocoque chassis, corvette style suspension, Nascar brakes, designed for a lsx style motor and a porshe transaxle. This is a modern race car with a classic style covering. as for a wing, na not for me.

I may put a lexan extension spoiler on the rear if I need to adjust the aero. I will be putting winglets and duct work to get the nose to come down. I will add antisway bars and soften the suspension. Will definitely tweak the hell out of the suspension for Solo NASA and maybe SCCA.
I will not paint it (it will be red jelcoat) and if I have my way an LS-7 inthe trunk. Now you know what my goals are. Anybody intrested in sponsering or floating the loan? ;-)
Having sen Fran's P4 I think what you're proposing would work very well on his chassis and under his body.

Best
