I just had a thought - 1st off, the s800/s2k is gonna eat a 10k budget for lunch like it's a twinkie.
But after giving this serious thought, why build a car based on the opinions of people in a thread. The project should REALLY choose you -- that chassis should just leap out at you and beg you to build it. If there are no cars that speak to you in that way --- like you BELONG behind the wheel of it, then you're just spinning your wheels tryna keep up w/ other people.
