Re: Mid Engine SVX concept.
You know I support your ideas...but to my humble thinking, sometimes we have to accept compromises.
To hear you say that the only way the 20 inch tyres will fit is to redo the suspension makes me think you aren't compromising.
In using an SVX shell as a donor, it's a compromise...you get a car that's on 4 wheels that then needs modifications to do what you want. And maybe 17 or 18 inch wheels would work better? Remember, V8 touring cars run 17" wheels with 375mm discs...admittedly they run 11" wide wheels, but you could potentially get the width on an 8" or 9" wheel without needing to mod the suspension too much and lose the benefits that chosing the SVX as a donor has given you.
My thinking is that as soon as you start changing suspension, custom making them etc...would not the 962 kit car you were looking at become a better more viable proposition?
I realise, to an SVX purist, that's not what you want to hear of course! And you of anybody could pull it off.
Just my thoughts...
