The corvette is a very seductive start. It is light, sturdy, and aerodynamically excellent.
I'm a huge fan of sprinters, that would be awesome.


Any idea on frontal area on a vette?
CD may not be all that great, but should be reasonable.
Could do a lot of different small front engine rear drive cars similar to this.
I wanted to do a Diesel Supra for a while, but the Idea never got off the ground.
