If you were going to build a kit car, what would be your choice?

Bauer catfish with 6.0 to 7.0L LS heart and t56 trans. They don't make tires sticky enough for that.... should run on par and be a poor mans F1 car.

No offense intended, but Fiberglass < Aluminum. There are a lot of ways to get an aluminum bodied replica, any of them are fine. I have to say I like Henry's idea of a coyote in one. Having driven one nearly 100k miles, they have plenty of balls (for a n/a setup). Just get a "cam" tune and keep the hood shut.

I like those factory 5 cars, and always wanted to build a AC Cobra, but as I get older.........
If I want a precision tuned street car I start with a well proven base then go from there. Now, big nasty trucks, that is different. Still, every time I drive the TJ, I think of how well the A/C works, and the thing drives, and how I am not under it all the time.

I think I would go with a Pantera with modern drivetrain like a turbo or supercharged coyote 5.0.

The few times I've considered it...i knew it would be cheaper to buy an actual professional built car but just wanted the challenge. Then I remembered I don't even like spending an hour installing cabinet and drawer pulls. If im going to piss away a few thousand hours it's going to be trying to invent the next slap chop or snuggy.

Wow! How times have changed... The hyper/ultra cars now make me cringe thinking about what it would be like to drive on the roads. Now I just want one of these with a new 5.0 and some kind of stack injection setup.
