Destination SSM

The really short version of the plan for the car is to start with basically an all-out CSP build, and then add the following:

• 1.8L motor (based mostly on a 99 engine), which will be twin screw supercharged (Lysholm or Whipple) with a target of 330-350rwhp.  This is potentially the most ambitious part of the project, and also what it all hinges upon.  That’s how I roll.
• Full Aero (front splitter, canards, and rear wing)
• Custom suspension (we’re designing drop spindles and custom control arms)
• Lightweight body panels (fiberglass+kevlar front end, hood, and rear bumper)

Given that, PAX-wise, SSM only needs 0.74 seconds over CSP on a 60 second course, that should get us a good portion of the way there.  I’m sure this will suddenly turn more complicated, but this is the basic starting idea…
