    theres no fucking way it will weigh 750lbs when finished. theres no way it weighs 400 right now unless you had ALL the bodywork off and the entire floorpan cut out., along with having the motor dropped and ALL the suspension out. they weigh a little over 2000 stock. it will probably end up being close to 1700 when done.

    how built is this motor gonna be? its gonna need around 450-500hp to get the wheels up, and some BIG drag slicks.

    im not tryin to shoot down your dreams and i definitely think its gonna be a cool car if its done right, but some of the info you posted is impossible. this car will end up being better suited for road courses/autocross/gymkhana. in fact, there was a CRX with a mr2 engine in the back that was built by Backyard Special, and it was a BADASS 'khana car.
