I sit awake at nights penning the new project now. I need to get a larger drafting table and CATIA workstation for home.
Hoosier R25B slicks, 11" front, 13" rear. Double A arm, pushrod actuated Penske dampers front and rear. 4130 space frame with bonded tub carbon fiber shear structures. Turbo Yamaha powered, 350 conservative HP. 700 pound dry weight. 3500 lbs of downforce at 160 mph.
These are the rough specifications after a week of research and calculations to provided the means by which I need in order to achieve the performance I'm looking for. 2 lbs. per horsepower... last car I built was 4 pounds per horsepower. And I still needed more. We'll see how 2 feels.
Chassis and suspension layout started tonight. Simulation starts this weekend. I may have some rough sketches to post by then as the entire chassis will be designed with the aero in mind.
Cheers to my new $250,000 project.
