Well I guess the wheel base/track width will be bigger, but the car itself will weigh in at about 1500-1700lbs.

Its a custom tube frame chassis kit car that I'm working on. I've been tinkering with the chassis design for over 2 years, and just today come up with a design that I actually like. Once I get Solid Works installed on my computer I can convert my sketched ideas to 3D pictars.

That trans sounds like a bitch to source. I think I'll stick with my original plan of B20-Vtec with a jackson racing supercharger. Cheap, reliable, super repsonsive motor with 230-250hp suites my needs perfectly, and I can find lots of spare parts that are easily sourced and cheap.
