Interesting read after a stressful work day. I need to feel smart right now, maybe a trip to Equatorial Guinea.

Jack, I think this thread has became more of a "what if" than a real serious attempt at convincing Fran of anything. Several of us have thrown out ideas (like the Panoz) that I have zero expectations of follow up. It does keep creative thoughts going and though I agree with his current lineup...

Its less scary not seeing the tire wall coming ;). The little super beetles are fortunately built pretty tough. Must say the GTS were beautiful if not too pricey at the end of production run. Back then, it took Porsche too long to get a modern auto trans and I feel that really hurt them in...

Yes, but you do pay for the beauty. Couple years ago, I think they quoted me 13.5k for 315 hp. I went with a much more stock build in end and the much less auspicious SU induction. No doubt with pride in their work, comes craftsmanship. But modern hp is so much cheaper and reliable ;)...

Is that 1 5/8 CrMo or larger? sanctioning body?

The Porsche doesn't work front/back in my eyes as front becomes unnecessarily more modern and the rear is still retro raw. Merc is hideous, agreed Ferrari looks like something from Playstation Justin: I'm with you and is the reason I mentioned Panoz. A true, not imaginary, 2 person cockpit...

More specifically ( as I think the chassis is going to be fairly similar to SLC) any shots of the cockpit? I've been around SLC's at the track and a few GT40s. How will interior space compare? One piece drop in is X" wider than, or shoulder width is X"+ over. Keep us motivated. Piggy Bank...

Huh....rarely leave this section of forum other than to search an idea. @136hp, the chassis can probably suffice, but if the aero half way worked with modern tires, I'd think it have trouble at speed. Then again with all that aero and 136hp, it may never reach "speed". Still think its a cool...

Aeromaster I ran across a picture and then did a little searching. What a cool looking car....make a great "team" car to the LMP here.....but the 70's chassis is sure to let the aero down. Just thought it was cool to view, not as an alternative but Alex could use something to stick that BBC...

Jack, nah just your typical production based variety....fun, just not fast. Corvairs, had their junk hung out the rear like a 911. Imps were fun too, but not in same vane as midengine Vette. I didn't forget these cute cars in my encompassing statement, just stating that GM hasn't been as...

Fords done it right like 4 separate times I can think of in a mental search. Fiero is as close LOL as GM has gotten (and I have an SCCA winning Fiero as Im laughing at this). Their GTO version of the Fiero would have been cool if that thought pattern had made it back to production.

Really cool but doesn't seem to be as complete as SLC's offering. LOL Ford GT Supercar Race Chassis New Frame GT40 Spaceframe Racing Tub | eBay

Huy, its a full suspension package and not just a "rebody". If you were to leave engine in front, you'd eliminate most the benefit of going with an SLC product. Might as well be a tuner body clad kit at that point. This is making a mid-engine car out of the safety tub of the Mitzi....not...

I know this is NOT what Fran is building. BUT still found interesting footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHBwe4gCvG0

Matt K, help me on that one. Is at an Aston? Beautiful!

I have to say that out of many makes and models in my stable, I never grow tired of hearing my mod'd sc 5.5 turn 7k. It's a muscle car goes to finishing school sound. So much more pleasant than the BMW's that were pacing MotoGP last weekend which (sorry for any owners) sounded like deep pitch...

Yes, I know I have to get up there......busy life but will happen. So are they pull up (RS style) or is there provisions for or only fixed mounted? Curious minds.... I like open air as much/more than AC when weather permits.

Power side windows? Glass or coated Lexan?

Impressive, thanks for sharing
