Take a Mazda Miata, delete the P/S and A/C, do some moderate aeromods, get some lighter front fenders, engine hood (occasionally could get a single-piece front clip), doors and trunk lid, and then you'd have a good base for such project...
A miata is rear wheel drive with a differential... the Razor uses a FWD drivetrain in the rear. Plus after all is said and done... you still have a miata

True... I'm sure there would be a lot of things to work out. I don't know the dimensions of the battery pack. If I were to seriously do it I would contact SLC and tell them what I'm doing. That's what is so nice... since they are a custom car company they will work with you.
