Constraints...we don't need no stinking constraints! Sorry I couldn't resist.

I would say for the race car, you choose with regard to all of those.

For a street car, how about:

18" Wheels

You choose the spindle. That is part of the magic, right? Anyway this seems to be an area of great debate lately.

Custom Chassis with the track width and wheel base i mentioned above. With these dimensions it should be close to alot of cars guys on this site are working on. Right or wrong I don't think in most cases it is cost effective to modify a stock chassis to the extent that some do. JMO

Front Engine. Hmmmmmm how to explain placement. For the street it would have to fit in an engine bay with in reason.


These are just suggestions on my part to keep this going. I am open to any suggestions.
