Re: GT90 from ground up

Bill & raca
At this point I am looking at using a 5.4ltr supercharged modular V8 and either a G50/52 or a locally built transaxle.
I am building the chassis with flexibility of choice for powertrain.
A V12 would be nice, Quad turbos would lead to the plumbers nightmare the original concept had.
The 2005GT powertrain while concise, light and dry sumped is not a cost effective choice for me at this point (retails at around $50,00USD plus freight etc), I merely raised it as an option.
Local registration ability emissions etc is a major controlling factor.
