Hey, thanks for the welcome!
That car has a tail pretty close to what I will be doing.
I would guess that car has a cockpit close to 48 inches wide. Mine will be 33 or so wide. Mine will be half way between side by side and tandem - the passenger sits offset and slightly behind the driver, giving the passenger plenty of room, but keeping the body narrow.
When I look at the car you show, there will be a LOT of turbulence off of the front fenders. When I make the cockpit narrower, there will be even more turbulence.
My goals are to make the car do everything for everyone of course! I am using the Honda DX engine to start, because I have one. I also have a head/block for a CX, and I have a 5 speed from a CX with the super long gear ratio.
Goal would be 1000 pounds or so, 12 square foot frontal area, .30 CD.
My ultimate goal is 1000 pounds, 100 horsepower, and 75 mpg at 75 mph.
Lean burn, and maybe nitrous in the future for another 100 horsepower!
Dream big!
