I've said it once...
We need a mid engined contender for the TBO Class. Whether it's a mid engine v6, or a turbo 4, doesn't matter. something akin to the MR2 Turbo.
We need a ~270-300 horsepower 3200-3500lb V8 Pony car that fits in with the TBO class as well. I don't know about playing nice, but a live axle v8 coupe would have an extremely distinct set of advantages and disadvatages that could prove interesting in competition. We also have NO LIVE AXLES in lfs. Another feather in the cap.
There could be a lowly model to run with the XR/XF, sporting a large displacement V6 with relatively low output and decent torque in a 3100lb chassis. Think 2005 era Ford Mustang or 1997 LT1 Camaro Z28 and their v6 little sisters.
Who's to say a one off vision old school muscle car wouldn't come of that rear suspension endevour as well? 4 speed locked ratio transmission, adjustable final only, big rip roaring v8 musclecar, nearly non existant brakes! bias ply style tires that just have horrid grip, and worse temperture characteristics!
We need a big 3400 lb 800 horsepower "stock car" we just do. shut it.
Live axle experiment will make that possible as well.
We need an "updated" F1 Chassis, and leave the old sauber in there for kicks and colour. Perhaps a nastalgic "prancing horse" V12 F1 car from the 90's if we're feeling awesome and productive.
We need Rally Cars! a short wheelbase, and a lil longer wheelbase, is likely all we'll need. a hatch, and a sedan. with barely legal DOT race tyres they can compete in a touring car like class with the "new" XFR and XRT TC Spec
XFR output Needs to be boosted to close to 300 horsepower, fixed rear, and an adjustable splitter downforce. perhaps even some tire tweaks to help keep the understeer sane.
there needs to be an XRT - TC which is basically the XRT in an XFR style setting. boosted power (~300 hp) on racey barely legal DOT competition tires, rollcage, limited downforce, nothing like the full on XRT. More of a touring car to run with the XFT and the rallycars on touring spec tires. (FINALLY!?)
A Prototype racer would be just fantastic.
But really, that said, the plate would be full just like that, would it not?
