KYTP to prove a point.
As of right now the requirments for the car are as follows:
-fully streetable
-retain A/C
-retian creature comforts
-high HP
-OD trans
I am looking to use the car to market a turbo setup that makes good power while keeping the above on the factory engine . Then I plan to take the same turbo setup and use it on a LSX based engine and push it to its max. I am looking to use this car as a rolling buiness card so to speak.

Would a mid '70's Pinto body on an old Jeep chassis with two 9" diffs being fed by a twin s88 FI'd 454 LSX on methanol with a small (large) nitrous shot off the line make a good sleeper setup? I suppose it could embarass Lambo owners occasionally.
Guys it is going to be a 4th Gen F-Body.

I have some things working. If none of them pan out I will start witha nice solid Stockish 99+ F-Body and build a nice simple Turbo setup that keep the A/C and is easily reproduced. I will push the stock driveline to its limits just to prove what it can take. When it pops I will start building a LSX based 44Xci engine to take its place. I will make the turbo setup so That is can be upgraded easily and one agin push it to the limits. All while retianing the above requirments.
I am in no hurry. Its why I am still around and hangin with the big dogs. I refuse to kill the shop building a monstrosity of a race car to go broke with.
For me its about providing a solution to get your cars Turbo'ed with out breaking the bank. I enjoy building the setups. If it makes me a living, great. If not, Cool. I still have a good payin full time job.
If you want something to prove, build something that will beat a Bugatti Veyron in accel./decel., braking, street manners, and handling. I have seen some Supra's that rival this, but no V8 cars yet that have been built by privateers. Best company so far to achieve it is probably Saleen with the S7 TT.
