Weight is a major concern for me...as is size. I live in a townhouse with a 2 car garage and my wife drives a SUV...so she takes up most of the garage. I'm willing to chop the car up a bit, my concern with the Nova is (even with the front clips I've seen) the manufacturers claim the biggest front wheel is a 16x7...not particularly large IMO and with that they turned .86Gs...I'd like to pull more Gs. I'm sure there are plenty of tub solutions for the rear.
I'd prefer the Nova in terms of size, weight and looks...what kind of front clip and rear suspension would you suggest for my application (daily driver and sole mode of transportation)? How big could I go with tires?
Cash isn't so much a problem--I think my chosen forum handle has thrown people off. Having said that, I don't want to just throw money at a car either.
