If there's anyone who could put together the brains, design, logistics and final product for a record run it certainly is Fran (with transaxle support of Wanni). Fran is no doubt sincere in his offer and I suspect Wanni is likewise sincere and serious. The economics are not easy however as the custom tailoring of the chassis and engine, along with the transportation of equipment and people and on-site tuning is easily a six figure undertaking - not a small pill to swallow for a side-line research project of a non-major auto manufacturer. There may be a good number of people here on the forum who would be willing to dedicate time, expertise, money and various support services for the comraderie and thrill of being involved in such a project. I suspect it could be done, and, very probably create a serious record contender! The possibilities are very exciting!
