I'd love a simple, light, mid-transverse engined car with modern aero. Like the SL-R with a LMP body put over it. Open top, no doors (and yeah, I'd race it in the rain).
I love the look of the SL-C... But I go through 4 sets of tires a year, give or take, and those 345/30/18 rears are expensive (and no, I cannot resist using anything smaller). I much prefer a smaller, lighter and simpler car with a transverse engine.
However I have no idea what sort of work and cost this would entail. There is also the issue of how the police would react, as the raciest things we see around here are Cobra replicas. I can't even imagine what they do when they see an Ariel Atom (other than tase first, ask questions later).
Ah well... Maybe I should just pick up some CFD software and learn how to work carbon fiber. How hard can it be?

That link to that little car is just like a dream i had. A friend of mine saw that famous 'Gixxer kart', a go-kart with a motorcycle engine on it, and we got thinking about his old enduro kart chassis hanging on his wall. I thought it would be cool to scale this idea up and make an actual car. Looks like someone already has. That price is absurd, i could see charging that much if they only made one. This kinda looks like a cross between a giant go-kart and a formula SAE car. Looks awesome, and i like the concept. It shows a motorcycle engine on it now, but it says custom v8, i guess that could get expensive.
