So I'm a mechanical engineering student and a big-time racing fan. And I've designed a formula one type car in CAD and I'm thinking about designing another car in CAD with a strong 914 base.
Here's a few things I'm thinking of: -914 suspension (or 911) geometry, wheelbase, track, etc -914 transaxle -probably not a type IV, something else that's more modern -Fiberglass monocoque or tube frame or combo -custom aero body (my big part cause I want to be an aerodynamicist) in the low-drag (and some downforce) style of the carrera GT, GT40, McLaren f1, etc Basically something I could build in several years with some research and design now while I'm in school. I want it light, relatively ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) ) cheap, and of course aerodynamically superior (for mpg and speed). Like a 916 of modern times (at least the concept part) So what do you guys think? |
