I kinda like this one:

RCR Steinard Formula Libre — Race Car Replicas

500 hp from a good LS engine, 970 #weight (i assume that's less motor), and no aero. What could possibly go wrong?
If I had one you can bet I'd be bolting barn-door wings all over it





EDIT more info:

Wings work better with a flat bottom. You'd be better off building this:
