Thoughts/Opinions on new concept
Hey all, it's been a while since I've been on these here forums, but I thought that you all may be able to offer some insight.
I have a concept for a new project, basically a mix between a Supermarine Spitfire, Jaguar XJ12 (V12) or 280Z (I6), and a 30's-60's
Formula 1 or Voitourette race car with new suspensino tuning technology.
My alternative is to finish building my Toyota Cressida, which would entail coilovers, LSD, Racing Seat, 5-speed and rollcage for full on drifting
use. I got this car for free and would be able to complete everything I hope to do for well under $2000 (USD). This car would be sold in near stock
condition to fund the building of the Jag-Fire mentioned above.
For the textually impared, ought I pursue this:
+
+
+
,
,
,
OR...
+
+
Any thoughts on which would be more worth pursuing?

Not sure the Spitfire Propellor would get through the SVA test - I think Motorised Pedestrian Slicers are a fail

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death
