I would like to get it down to around 2000-2300 lbs and 250-300whp. but keep its daily driver-ness. so as a DD it can be a little crazy without just being dumb in fuel costs. really I just want to DD a go kart

How are you going to get down to 2300 without stripping the interior? lol

NA power (I know some people won't agree but I really would love to have another ITB car but if money didn't matter right?), light-weight everything on the drivetrain, properly sorted suspension, Front splitter and rear diffuser, AP Sprint Brakes. I am just ranting... haha

+1

I would love a fully built NA motor coupled with a 4.55 final drive ratio. Target goal of around 200hp and lightweight. Full suspension, wheels, bigger brakes, etc. etc.

Here's my current wishlist.

Chargespeed carbon fiber lip kit
TSW Donnington Wheels 17x8
RCE Yellow Springs
Koni Yellow Shocks
Carbon fiber fender trim and trunk garnish
Carbon fiber rear diffuser cover and OEM style diffuser
Full PERRIN exhaust
Lip spoiler (was think carbon fiber, but probably should stick with color matched)
Full Vortech Supercharger kit and everything it needs to be reliable and last.
RevWorks Header

Honorable mentions for strut braces and tower bars I haven't had time to look at yet.

I can't think of a dream set up for this car. Other cars pop in my head before the thoughts make it out.

2500 lbs without losing the creature comforts, fully built motor with 450 whp via the smallest twin scroll turbo possible for that output, full suspension set-up designed perfectly for the car, BBK, full aero kit, lw wheels + high performance rubber, drivetrain, rear axle, etc... basically, a race car that I could still DD.

EDIT: Twincharger setup using an electric supercharger for the instant torque low-end to mid-range, and a large single twin scroll turbo from mid-range to top-end.
