The start budget on this car is +25.000 € this year and the same for next year. So we has to look around on the Porsche junkyard for parts to make this little car fast.
As I'm a fan of Porsche I'm gone try to make the car with as much original parts as possible.
But at this moment I'm on a tree week holiday in Europa ones I'm back the real work start.

I know this is a Porsche forum and I love my Porsche, but if his goal is a fast and trouble free race car may I recommend 700hp in a 2,150 lbs mid-engine car?

not sure about the trouble free part, but I believe they were using toyota engines for a while in the lotus so that should be a relatively good engine, and even 300 or 400hp would be massive in a 2,150 lbs vehicle

I'm subscribed, too.
Odds are stacked against you for putting the GT3 engine in the Box for 25K Euros this year, but I'm rooting for you!
