My son wants to build a car together and I have pretty much have everything ironed out except the transaxle and suspension. I have only owned 1 mid engine vehicle and I'm not really familiar with what to look for.
Ill give you an Idea of what our project will consist of. Please keep in mind that I don't have a ton of money and need to do this with respectable costs in mind. The experience will later be priceless.
We will build the body, chassis, electronics, motor and turbo kit. Goal is to keep everything around 2200 to 2500lbs.
Engine will be LSX Based with twin 60's. I am looking to make 500 to 550 reliable horsepower. I've done this on multiple occasion so I'm not worried about this, but I am not familiar with the transmission.
I know there are several options that all of you have used in the past. I am looking for something that I can get everything built around. I've heard of going Audi O1E, O16, and O1M, as well as the Porsche G50. I would like to do paddle shifters so I am looking for an Automatic. Also What is the shortest option available that can hold 500 horsepower? It doesn't have to be 500hp capable to start but have the capabilities.
Of what ever is recommended are there specific engine management systems that have to be used?
Thanks in advance for your time.
