The car with the best suspension geometry would be the best to start with. Now one more rock at the hornets nest! Which car has the best suspension geometry?

Really there is really no answer to this one. I will ask this thought and you can answer it for yourself. How fast are you? If you drive like me then all of the current builders have platforms that if set up correctly and run with slicks will handle better than I can drive. Unless you are a pro driver or have a lot of on track experience in high power race-cars then I suspect you are in the same boat as I am. You did ask this question after all which sorta puts you in the boat with most of us I would guess.

They all will except most of the current top of the line gearboxes and power is only limited by dollars spent.

Most of the performance to be gained from one of these cars will be in basic R & D, setup, and tuning. There isn't any way to do this without learning setup tech and testing at the track. Many good books on this by the way.
