This project wouldn't be completed for a while. I have in no way, the ability to do an over night project. I am throwing feelers out, in order to see if somethings are possble and tasteful.
Now when I said MPG, I don't mean 20 MPG. I am looking for atleast 11 MPG though. I want this car to be a street car and road racer. I am going to use light weight parts such as aluminum and titanuim as well as roller and friction reducing parts so that I can increase performance and milage in one swoop. I just though a SC may increase mileage from better VE because it would take less windup to get power out of it for street driving. I am going to paint the car myself this summer to keep costs down. I am also going to build the engine myself. I have done this kind of stuff before so it isn't a problem with abilities. But is it possible to do some of the other stuff, such as 6 spd.? BTW, I est. the project would last roughly 3 years, again, not over night.
