The water-cooled engines would have a BSFC advantage. The HONDA Shadow, 700cc, V-twin, @ 57-hp, 6-speed, would make a Sunraycer-ICE variant like a Le Mans racer.
I started down that road, got about $1,000 in parts collected, then after much meditation, decided that it would be a death trap. Where I live, anyway.
There just doesn't seem to be any right to life in North Texas traffic. And no law enforcement.
The car should have at least the performance of a 250 cc motorcycle. Ability to accelerate out of a dangerous situation, when braking won't save you.
